    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is lip service being paid to the matter and importance of the youth of this country. I want to congratulate the President for one thing; that he decided to give a job to a good friend. If this Government was able to look at that, we would sometimes be able to applaud. The retired Major Murugu, is today the Permanent Secretary in charge of the new Ministry for Youth Affairs. But I suspect that the good friend has absolutely no idea of what he really should do apart from the fact that he was the leader of the regional scouts. Of course, he March 29, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 199 comes from Nyeri as well. That is a fact, but he is an able officer and the scouting fraternity congratulated the President on that appointment. But having said that, let me hasten to add that, if this Government believes in the future and proper empowerment of the youth of this country, the first and fundamental duty for it to do, is to ensure that all the Kenyan youth aged above 18 years get their national identity cards. But what stories do we hear? The story is that forms are missing. The story is depressing. So, can we begin, for once, to make some moral commitment to the people of this country? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the last point I want to make has to do with the fact that we must congratulate our athletes because they have done us proud. They have come back with six gold medals from Australia. They are the true embodiment of the fighting Kenyan spirit. In fact, they are part of the Kenyan dream which NARC(K) has stolen."
