    "content": "We want to know how many companies in Meru belong to young people who are getting county tenders. I am happy the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget is here. She should tell the country how many counties are complying with the 30 per cent rule. Even in Nakuru County, we want to know how many youthful companies are giving business to young people. This is the future we want to see. We are not encouraging young people to be corrupt. We want them to do legit business and not kemikali business. I will finish in the words of the great man called Bob Marley who unfortunately succumbed to cancer at 36 years. I would like to use these words to encourage young people. Young people would want to be rich overnight and be instant millionaires. When Bob Marley was being interviewed, he was asked by a reporter about the wealth he had acquired through his concerts and selling of his songs. He asked the reporter what they meant, whether it was riches of possessions. The reporter replied that it was in terms of wealth. Bob Marley answered – this should encourage us in leadership – that his true riches and wealth is to have a life full of love and live forever. With those beautiful words of Bob Marley, I encourage young people as I second this Bill. May his soul live, Rastafarians do not die, but transit to another world. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to second."
