    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a good Motion that tackles the major problems that this nation is facing. As the Senate Leader of Majority has indicated, it has some gaps. Personally, coming from a pastoral county, I can see that even though I will be happy to see graduates access the funds, I am looking at my very able young people who did not have a chance to go to school. However, they are very good when it comes to their enterprising skills. These people are very well known. Our Government has not given the livestock sector the major inputs it requires noting that countries like Botswana have their economies pegged on livestock. From the size of the pastoral areas of this country and the people living in the land, I find that our situation is far much better than Botswana. Our Government should come out and assist the youth. Our funds are structured in a way that an individual cannot go to borrow. People must come up with societies and groups so as to borrow. However, if our Government allowed our youth to borrow individually, this would step up our economy. It would also allow our people to do well. Just like the Senate Majority Leader said, I would be happy to see this Fund not only being used by graduates but anyone else who is not a graduate and even those who have not gone to school. I remember when we were going round during the campaigns, we told our people that our Government would come up with a scheme where our youth would be getting 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."
