    "content": "sector is being under looked at various points. It is also important for that impetus to be put in place for them to be able to proceed and want to progress in those particular areas. Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue of regional disparities has already been brought to the fore and, therefore, that is very important. If we are going to save the youth from unemployment, it is also critical to look at the situation that they are in. For those who have been employed, most of them are employed on the low end and it is very unfortunate that sometimes you will find even university graduates working in sectors that traditionally they would not be working in, because of the whole situation of unemployment. So, I think that it is critical for as, as the Senate. An initiative that is really going to make a difference for our graduate students is very important and key. The whole idea would be in the long-run to ensure that, that self-employment is sustained and this money paid back. They should actually project and ensure that they are able to create industries in the crucial areas. Embracing technology will help in the long-run because that is the driver of development. As much as they might have the technological knowhow, they need to be given the capacity to use it. Then there is the capital and skilled labour and the whole idea about increasing capital formation. Without that, it is impossible to move and spur this country into proper development. Madam Temporary Speaker, for us what we need to discuss is the management of the fund, to ensure that it does not create a sense of despondency and “let-me-wait, I will just get money and give it back.” I think that what we need to do is look at the Motion and enhance it in terms of putting in the details that will help. This is because from my perspective graduates are a completely different component with very clear indicators of the situation and how such a fund would help them. It will be very critical to ensure that, that fund has guidelines and policies. This is because I think that if we look at the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, it has been there for a long time. One may ask: “Why has it been there for a long time and yet, we have so many youths who are so needy? What has gone wrong? What needs to be inputted so that we just do not go along the line of clamping together with the Youth Enterprise Development Fund---"
