    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I wish to begin by congratulating the Mover of this Motion that is timely. It was about time that we intervened on behalf of the youth of this country to ensure that issues concerning the youth are taken seriously. If you look at the time that the Kenya National Youth Council Act was enacted, it was in 2009 and since then elections were held sometime last year, I remember. That was about 2012, three years later and until now the Council has not been operationalized. So I think it is important that we begin by first urging the Government and all concerned to take matters concerning the youth very seriously. Now that we have a very clear manifesto of the ruling party, the Jubilee Party, that has put youth issues at the forefront, it is time to walk the talk. It is time for the Jubilee Government to prove to the youth of this country that they meant exactly what they told them during the campaign period."
