    "content": "long way also in reducing idleness amongst the youth in our country. It will help reduce crime levels among the youth and even prevent youth from being taken up by terrorist groups due to desperation. It will encourage the youth of Kenya to tap their creativity and entrepreneurship skills to globally competitive levels. Hon. Speaker, Sir, with the operationalization of the NYC, the glass ceiling that the young people have been feeling is restricting the development in this country for many years will finally be broken. In concluding, the youth of this country are not an alien species or some strange form of the human race. We are very much part of the fabric of society. In fact, in Kenya we are a very large piece of that fabric. The only problem is that we are not the ones controlling the past strings but now we want to change our marginalized status and taken control of our collective destiny as youth of this country. Apart from the fact that we contribute a substantial chunk of the country’s revenues, we ask the Government to allocate funds to the NYC immediately to be able to set up its own national and county functional secretariats. With these few remarks, I would like to urge my fellow hon. Members to relieve the anxiety of hundreds of thousands of youth around the country by supporting this Motion, therefore, contributing to the operationalization of the NYC Act, which a majority of us have been waiting for years. I beg to move and I would like to request hon. Mwaura to second the Motion. Thank you."
