    "content": " First, he has not challenged me to substantiate; secondly I quoted Forbes Magazine which is a respected international magazine that published statistics showing the richest man in Africa is Kenyan and I said “probably” the poorest person in Africa is also Kenyan. That does not need any statistics. This is an opinion and I am entitled to it. My learned junior should know that. Madam Temporary Speaker, giving credit to young people in this country must be accompanied by very clear programmes. The only problem in this country is that the average Kenyan does not believe that the right to borrow has a corresponding duty to pay back and especially when you avail money in grant form. You will find that out of every 20, probably only one will pay back the money and the rest will look at it as gifts, especially if the money is given around campaign time. Everybody will think that it is a slush fund for politics and they take it and never pay back. So, I would want the current Government to borrow a leaf from the very positive manifesto of CORD where we said that we will avail money to the youths, women and everybody but the fundamentals must be right. We should have a crash programme tailored by our institutions to teach the young people how to handle credit, how to handle money, how to keep a ledger book, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
