    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on matters of youth affairs and women, it is good to hear the President committing himself to it, but every time we are talking about supporting the youth yet other than Kazi Kwa Vijana (KKV) which are very short term programmes, we do not see any long term projects that can sustain our youth or move them from the level they are of poverty to the next level. I would challenge the Government to come up with tangible long term projects to address the issue of youth so that we can move them away from these illegal groups and from being recruited into groups that are not for any good to this country. Finally, it is my pet topic of fighting corruption. I have not seen any will or tangible steps being taken by this Government to fight corruption. As long as we do not fight corruption, it will always be like putting water in a debe that has holes. You put and put but it seeps through. I would call on the Government and particularly on all those people who have come forward to say that they want to be CEOs of this country to give us their agenda and commitment as to how they will fight corruption in this country. With those few remarks so that somebody else can have time, I beg to support."
