    "content": "This Bill also proposes who qualifies to register a company. At times, one wishes to support young people but, the way we do it leaves unanswered questions. I want to plead with young people that, if, for example, they are helped to set a start-up business, they should not allow themselves to slide back to where they were three months earlier. One cannot have a start-up after friends came together and bought him carwash machines and water tankers and then after one month, he sells off everything and go back to square one. We want companies to be registered and we consistently monitor the growth of groups of young people with start- up businesses in the constituency. There is a young man called Adan Andeko, who works with Community-Based Organizations (CBO) of young people that deal with health issues. Each one of them has different ideas and innovations. All they needed was that incentive. How can we have incentives of subsidy, credit guarantee and capacity building? There is the German federally-owned International Co-operation Enterprise (GTZ) that supports young people who come out and say they want to do one thing or the other. Right now, they are undergoing training. I have a girl called Vivian from Kakamega who decided to do beekeeping. The GTZ came in to support her fully. She told me that the day she was asked how she wanted to be supported, she said did not want to be given money. She wanted equipment. I want to tell the young people that if they want to be supported, they should not ask for resources but for the equipment they need to start a business, and they will be supported. That is critical. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I know that we have to finish so that the Mover can reply. Finally, I want to tell the young people in Dagoreti North that it is important to understand that, while they are in Nairobi, they must be doing something for themselves. Boda boda operators should not accept to be used to abuse and beat people. No! Use that boda boda as a place to do"
