    "content": "sector. This policy will bring in the question of credit financing for our youth, so that the youth can be self reliant. We know that our security will improve when our youth will be fully employed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the agricultural sector has been a success, but still has some shortcomings. Today, our dairy farmers are getting paid for their milk. Even the sugar-cane farmers, although not all of them, have been paid. At least their arrears do not run into years as used to be the case some years back. Finally, we need unity in this country. It is unity that will bring peace. It is an environment of peace which will allow people to invest in this country. Kenyans who have invested their money outside will be able to bring it back. Promotion of peace and unity should be spearheaded by parliamentarians. Parliamentarians, let us not continue to look at each other as enemies. We are not enemies, but friends, brothers and sisters. Our only common goal is the good of this country. Let us start promotion of peace and unity here in this House. In December and January there was a lot of outcry out there for His Excellency the President to reconvene Parliament, so that we could discuss various issues affecting us. I am surprised that after the convening of parliament there is a problem of quorum almost every day, and yet 220 hon. Members were demanding that we should reconvene parliament. I want to appeal to my colleagues that we should concentrate on parliamentary matters in a more purposeful way. Let us not simply work at undermining each other. We should complement the developmental efforts of our people. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
