"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, access to credit has been big challenge to our youth. Whenever there is money, like now are told, there is Kshs6 billion for the youth and women. Now money will be take to certain banks and the youth will be asked for collateral or security, and the method of accessing that money will be so cumbersome. There will be so many roadblocks that the youth will give up before they even apply for that money. So, these are the kind of breaks, or challenges that this Government should remove for the youth so that credit is easy to access. So, these are the kind of challenges the Government should remove for the youth. If it is through affirmative action then let the Government pump in money even without asking for repayment. This money will generate other businesses and the country will expand. The countries which have done well are those that have taken their youth very seriously. A Member talked about the Brics. This includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. They have affirmative action for their youth. They train their youth and engage them in production in the textile industry, road construction, farming and so on. They are moving so fast ahead. Today China is the second largest economy. It has overtaken Japan. Very soon it may be the biggest economy in the world. The reason is that they create work for every youth. Work can be any kind of work be it construction, farming, manufacturing and so on. They perfect that through training. That is why China is called the manufacturing house of the world. Hon. Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
