    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. Actually, this Motion could not end without me speaking because I represent the youth of this nation. It is a great pity as we have already seen and read that the majority of us are outside there, tarmacking because of lack of jobs. That is why I stand to support this Motion; that we need a Graduates Enterprise Fund, the reason being that in many cases, youth are used as statistics; indicating that we have 70 per cent youth in this country and 42 per cent of them are unemployed. That is why I believe that the proposed Graduates Enterprise Fund will be important, be it those graduates from the polytechnics, colleges or universities. It is because they have a special need – parents have spent money to take them to school – and here they are, after college, and they do not have employment. In the recent days, like the last two weeks, the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has been sending messages to graduates asking them to repay their loans. How are they going to repay those loans if they do not have a source of income? That is why I stand to support this Motion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
