    "content": "Looking at the Presidential Address, I would want to appreciate the fact that he recognised the youth as being critical in the development of this country, whose talents, capacities and energies are critical in the economic growth and development agenda of Kenya. Looking at the different categories of the youth, I believe there are some categories that are not conspicuous; an example is the pastoralist youth, who still engage in crimes such as cattle rustling. When we talk of youth we usually think of the unemployed youth in urban centres, and maybe the urban poor. We also have the rural poor, who include the pastoralist youth. I believe that they will all benefit if measures are going to be designed and tailored to meet the needs of different categories of youth. So, I really appreciate this. Hon. Speaker, Sir, you alluded to the fact that the promises we made during campaigns were just promises and now we should get to the real business. I think it is only fair that we keep our promises and this is what the Jubilee Government is doing. The promises we made to the people of Kenya are what was contained in the Presidential Address. Thank you."
