    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, much as we recognize the role of the youth, the biggest problem in our country today is youth unemployment yet I dare say that it is not impossible for our country to engage our youth productively. A population that is just about 40 million is comparable to the population of several metropolis in the developed world which are managing very well. But it is true that countries which have taken steps to look after their youth have seen a lot of improvement in their economies. Here for instance I have in mind countries which just 50 years ago had lower GDPs than Kenya, but they invested in their youth and today while we are fighting to look for employment for our youth, in some of those countries, they have managed to reduce unemployment to as low as 2 per cent. It is possible and it can be done. Therefore, with this Motion I hope we can take the cue and progress it forward into a Bill so that we are able to engage our youth more productively. By engaging the youth more productively, we are actually increasing the productivity of the nation. There is a lot of hope even as we engage in this process. There are thousands of youth all over Kenya who are very creative. I remember"
