"content": "lawyer or teacher. When you look at countries in the West, most of the people diversify these skills, so that people can do other things other than just working in the office. If we want to get where other countries are, we must come up with these polytechnics because it is an answer that will give our youth a better chance. I also support this Motion because we must modernize these youth polytechnics. When you look at the polytechnics, without any funds, really, they will not give the services that are required or the skills that the young people need, so that they can be competitive in other fields. I support this Motion also because a country like Kenya or any other country depends on the youth. If the youths are not going to be empowered, then this country will not have a future. They say future is for the young people. Unless we empower them, we cannot achieve the Vision 2030 that we have set for this country. I must say that the youth in this country are looking after this Parliament because most of us came here on the issue of the youth. We promised them that we are going to change for good. I call upon the Members of this House to support this Motion. I agree with my colleagues that one per cent is little. I congratulate you. We must start from somewhere and we know we have other priorities. You are in the Budget and Appropriations Committee just as I am and we have had a lot of strain on how to budget the county revenue. I totally agree with you that we must start from somewhere and then, over the years, we could increase the amount. I congratulate my friend, Njenga, for bringing this Motion. It is long overdue and I hope nobody will stand in its way."
