    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that as a youth, I should have had more than one minute, but let me use my one minute well and adequately. I support this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot overemphasize the importance of empowering our young people, especially even in issues to do with discipline and values, as a nation. I know that for sure, the NYS is one place that will, definitely, impact on our young people. I want to speak for the young people, mostly in pastoralist areas, who do not have formal education. These people are energetic and run with cows for over 300 kilometers when they go for cattle rustling. That energy can be used to build this nation. I know that during the times of the late Mzee Lenges, he took a number of these young people and they were recruited into the Army. We can tap that energy to build our roads and do very many other things. Since there is nowhere else we can take them, we should take them to the NYS where they can undergo basic education and acquire skills. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the young people should not go to a NYS centre because it is in that county. We should encourage a Samburu to go to Kakamega to know what happens there, so that we also build a cohesive nation and not just limit the youth to one county. They should also go to other counties and interact with the young people there. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we can use the NYS as a transition to other Government agencies like the Army, Administration Police (AP) and Police Service. But I have to caution that we should meet the requirements. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, the Committee on Implementation needs to look into this--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
