"content": "Constitution, the youth of this country voted for it overwhelmingly because the Government had made sure that they had a stake in it. Article 55 of the Constitution says that the State shall take measures, including affirmative action programmes, to ensure that the youth access relevant education and training. Hon. Deputy Speaker, speaking about my constituency, I have never come across any agency that gives free education and training. Most of the youths wait for money to be given to us, through the CDF. Even though a certain percentage of CDF funds have been set aside for bursary, the allocation is not even enough for the most needy cases. Therefore, I urge the Government to come up with ways of addressing this issue and also set up a special kitty through which to provide what has been stipulated under Article 55 of the Constitution. In the same Article 55, the Constitution says that the youth will have opportunity to associate and be represented and participate in the political, social, economic and other spheres of life. I know that the Eleventh Parliament has a few Members who are under the age of 30 years. I know that they really struggled during the campaigns because they were unable to access funds."
