    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion. One of the reasons that the Kenya Kwanza Government introduced the Hustler Fund was because of the bad culture that we have from the lenders in Kenya and which we are discussing in this Motion. It is a culture of actually setting up Kenyans for failure. You have seen numerous agencies who are advertising for jobs, and then you see tens of thousands of Kenyans showing up, because there are no jobs. The only way we can create jobs is by being intentional about the environment to run businesses. The creation of jobs can only come by setting up enterprises of which one requires to have capital. Therefore, for our youth to get engaged in social enterprises or any kind of enterprise they need capital. Of course, they are looking up to these lenders, for instance these banking institutions and breahoping that through that capital where they are buying the assets to set up their businesses, they will be able to create jobs for the other youths. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is very sad when you repeatedly see businesses that are less than six months being auctioned. As a matter of fact, there is a joke that we have with some of my colleagues, that the businesses that are being set up in Kenya are auctioneering businesses. We have more auctioneers than the actual enterprises to an extent where there was a publication earlier in this year, that all the auctioneers were busy trying to fight for space to gazette all the things that they were auctioning. However, no one is there to buy because the economy is not at a good place."
