May I also commend the President for establishing the Ministry of Youth Affairs because we have many youth in this country who are just idling in the market places. The President said about 72 per cent of our population comprises of the youth. Therefore, something needed to be done urgently to look into their affairs.

I would like this Ministry to focus on artisan kind of training. They should train our youth in skills that they will use to start small businesses now that a fund will be established for them to allow them to do so. That will reduce insecurity, give the youth something to do and play a major role in alleviating poverty. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I would like to acknowledge that women are a bit disappointed because of losing two positions in the Cabinet, this Government has shown that it is interested in bringing women in the area of decision making unlike some parties, which did not even nominate women to this House.

Women from Luo-Nyanza have complained---"
