    "content": "We have seen some people who purport to be youth representatives and yet they are here in Nairobi, although they may be representing youths who are in Embu. It is sad to see a youth employed in Nairobi working with the Ministry or a certain company, going for meetings in Embu or any other place for that matter and yet he purports to be representing the youth from that locality. Let us be very clear and make it a policy that any youth representative should come from that locality. If he gets a job elsewhere, it is up to the Ministry to make it very clear that the youth should relinquish that office to another youth who is residing there and operating within the locality. I believe that way, the representation will be more effective than it is today. I believe that if we attend to those issues, there will be significant improvement in the way we are handling our youth and we will definitely see better results. Unfortunately, all of us who are here came here courtesy of the youths and women. If we ignore them, this will be a time bomb and we will find ourselves swallowed. This will be very unfortunate if we ignore. However, with the way the Minister is committed to the activities of the youth, I am sure that she will deliver a policy on this Bill once it is passed. She will pass policies which are very convenient and attractive to the youth. With those many words, I support."
