    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. Let me thank the President of this country for giving a Speech which gave a vision on how this country is to develop. The President's Speech touched on the development needs of the youth through the Ministry of Youth Affairs. That the youth will be given money for development. The idea of giving the youth that money is very noble. However, the only problem is how the money is going to be disbursed to the youth. The President should have directed the Minister to channel the money through constituencies, so that it is spread to every constituency. The problem with that Fund is that, some youth do not know where to apply for the funds. Some are told to go to banks, but when they get there, they do not know what is to be done. Therefore, I request the Minister of State for Youth Affairs to disburse the money through the constituencies because at that level, the Member of Parliament would know which groups should be assisted. There is a lot of bureaucracy in the disbursement of funds. That will make the idea not useful. The Ministers who are here should tell their colleagues at the Office of the President, that the money should go directly to the youth so that they can make use of it and vote for this Government next year. Otherwise, the youth will get annoyed, beat you up and put you back to the Opposition side, come next year. So, be very careful."
