"content": "Deputy Speaker, I am very sorry. Usually I rarely make a statement without looking at the Speaker but you realize that this is very close to my heart. That is why my entire mind is just in my heart and, therefore, I did notice you but with my many apologies. Hon. Deputy Speaker, whenever I go home I receive a lot of requests from young men and women and they ask me : âMheshimiwa, can you help us with money we buy nets for fishing?â I cannot afford this and, therefore, I am asking the Government that: Why do we not provide funds for this venture? I know that some of my colleagues have even better improvement on this Motion. I know hon. Millie has an amendment to this Motion which I really welcome and she will canvass it effectively but probably we need even much more than the soft loans that we are asking for. We should have a system where we are going to organise our young men and women even in terms of capacity building because the moment we give them money and we start organising them, it will be of more value to them because a lot of the money that the young men and women get does not end up benefiting them. They misuse it. There is no capacity building. They do not even know the value of banking and, therefore, the moment the Government gets involved in this industry, I am very sure and I am convinced that now the young women and men that are involved in the fishing industry will see value for their effort and sweat."
