    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my concern relating to out-sourcing the prides of our nation is one that if not addressed, we might end up even having to out-source the Executive in this country. I, therefore, urge the Government to take this matter very seriously. I welcome the President's Speech in relation to the doubling of the foreign direct investment. That is definitely a positive aspect that we hope will trickle down to all sectors of our economy and especially to people who are less represented in several areas. I am, however, concerned that in this era of international money laundering, the country should take more serious steps in vetting any foreign investors so that they do not come here and transfer their illegal activities and damage the youth of our country and entire economy. In that regard, I would like to urge the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in conjunction with the Office of the President, to come up with a policy to vet the supposed foreign investors, such as the ones that are masquerading around town. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy that the Government has established a Ministry concerned with youth affairs. I am also happy that, for once, a member of my community was appointed to head it. Coming to this Parliament makes one a tribalist. In that regard, I would like to congratulate Dr. Kuti. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in his Speech, the President promised that a Sessional Paper concerning the youth will be tabled in this House. The problems of the youth are clearly stated in the NARC Manifesto. The solution is providing the 500,000 jobs that were promised every year. The President and the Minister in charge of the youth should be working on how to provide jobs, rather than giving us another Paper that will only collect dust on our shelves. I am glad that the Government is taking serious action on one problem that the youth is facing. There are vigilante groups which come in different forms. They include Baghdad Brothers,"
