    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this time. I came here very early in the morning. I was the first one here but I thank you for giving me this chance. I rise to support the amendment to this Bill because of the following reasons: All this time our youth have been misused by leaders and especially the politicians when it comes to elections. However, through the Uwezo Fund which we passed yesterday time has come for the youth to be empowered so that they can really do the right thing for this country and also improve the economy of this country. This is because as we give them power through this amendment our youth now will be really empowered and they will do the right thing and will not be misused again by anybody. When we talk of the demands they have for us, most of the time when we are outside in our constituencies, our youth are always on our necks. However, through the Uwezo Fund they will now get the money and through the amendment to this Bill they will be doing the jobs and they will empower themselves and do the right thing for this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the affirmative action that we are talking about for the youth and all the disadvantaged groups in this country who are the women, the physically challenged and all the youth, through the amendment of this Bill, these groups will now improve their lives. On the issue of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), all this time round our youth have been left out of it because of lack of documents on procurements but now through the amendment of this Bill, our youth will now be ready to compete with the rest of the people who will be doing these jobs. With those few remarks, I support."
