    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank hon. Njenga for moving the Motion. I also wish to support this Motion. When I was campaigning, I came face to face with the despair which our young people have fallen prey to. As a result of lack of employment, most of the youth have given up and have gone into abusing drugs and alcohol. I urge the Members of this House that as much as we talk of improving technical institutions and enabling the youth to access training, we need to give the youth hope. We need to engage with them. When we go to our constituencies, I pray that every one of us gets time to spend with the young people and tell them that there is hope ahead, so that they do not get discouraged and waste away their lives by abusing drugs and alcohol. I support the idea that we need middle level colleges. We also need to fund the youth, so that they can access the college education. I beg to support."
