"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I took over the running of the Karachuonyo Constituency there was hardly a single pole of electricity. Today almost 95 per cent of my constituents are enjoying electricity. We all know lack of employment among youth is a serious issue. However, with installation of electricity in the rural areas, youth are engaged in various activities such as welding, plumbing and hairdressing. All this could not be possible without electricity. They are now able to eke living from those activities. As we move towards devolved government, I would like to see this continued. I would urge the Minister to continue allocating more funds to this very important sector of our economy. This sector is very vital to our people. Without electricity in the rural areas, youth will not be fully engaged."
