    "content": "I am urging my colleagues, Members of Parliament, to sensitize some areas and inform their people that they cannot continue to thrive on enterprise without taking loans. There are certain areas - especially where hon. Khalwale has just mentioned - and I happen to come from one of those areas – where the issue of taking loans has really been mystified by people who think that when you do not have a loan, you are doing very well. Yet, they have no capacity unless they inherit some money. You can only enterprise when you borrow. If you look at it analytically, the borrowing of loans in various regions differs from one place to another. So, we have embarked on disseminating information through the Youth Empowerment Centres. We want to give youth in those particular areas information. We want to target them. We want to show them that they can do a business instead of being employed for Kshs3000. They can start their own business and employ somebody for Kshs10,000. Those are some of the challenges that we have learnt as we go out there. Sometimes, you cannot have a uniform product for the whole country. It does not work. You will find that in other areas, it is doing very well. In fact, they are even going to other areas to borrow money because the money that has been sent there is lying idle. Nobody is borrowing it. So, those are the challenges that we are trying to address."
