    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I made the point very well. I respect people who own goats and I also even own them. I am simply saying that let us also think higher. Let us think how this Uwezo Fund can be used in building technology and making our youth move ahead in the ICT sector. That is the only way we can globalize our economy and make sure the youth are participating effectively. I want to support it with a proviso that we should look at the long term. Let us lend money on long term basis and look at the supervision and management aspect of this Fund very seriously. I agree with Sen. Ndiema that we should also look at the possibility of scaling up individual businesses for those who are already in business because they just need a little bit of funding to grow. The money they can borrow from the banks is too expensive. So, if they were given a little push from the Uwezo Fund, they would be able to boost their business and create further employment. With those few remarks, I beg to support. 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"
