    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, You have saved my evening because as I was sitting here, I got a call from my youths in Kuria who were telling me that I must rise and support them. I am surprised to read this Paper which has been circulated. It shows that this Council having been created by an Act of Parliament, has not got even a single cent. I want to thank Mheshimiwa Juma for bringing this Motion, although it has come a little bit late. She should have brought it before we went to deal with the budget issues. However, we can still chip in something in the Supplementary Budget. This is a very important organ. The youth know what they want. It is through Council that people can organize training programmes that are appropriate for themselves. In this country, we have misused the youth. We do that during the campaigns and then we forget them after the campaigns are over. This is a very bad thing. We really want to support them by putting some resources in their organizations. The President promised that the money that was to be used for a re-run will be given to the women and the youth. How is that going to be organized? Who is going to do that? It is through this Council that they can organize themselves on how to use that money. Therefore, it is important that we support the youth not just by words and small tips. We need to empower them to organize themselves. With those few remarks, I beg to support this Motion."
