    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I want to say that I support the Motion. Secondly, I find it multi-faceted because the recommendations of the Select Committee will touch on quite a number of Ministries who will have to do a lot about the youth. The youth constitute a very large proportion of our population and we cannot ignore that. Now that we have a Budget Office that went through the other day, I think we should allocate funds based on the numbers and not on the sectors. When we do allocation the way it has been going on, then we will leave out a lot. We cannot ignore the youth. I just want to say that we should allocate enough money for the youth to engage them meaningfully. I saw in the Printed Estimates that we allocated about Kshs4 billion towards paying Anglo Leasing related debts. I do not know why we should do that. Why should we allocate about Kshs4.9 billion to purchase a cruise ship at the expense of our youth. I do not understand why this should happen. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife talked about education training programmes. We must put a lot of money towards this issue. We must allocate a lot of money for education and training of the youth. If we engage our youths meaningfully, I do not think we will experience the kind of problems we are facing today. We must also put a lot of money towards civic education so that we can interact with our youth. We must have rehabilitation programmes for those who may have gone astray---"
