    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I rise to support the Motion by my very good friend, hon. Sakaja. As we discuss the youth, we are discussing the future of this country. We will guarantee the youths of this country their future mainly by discussing the local content of the procurement that we have in this country, right from the ward level to the constituency, county and the national level. If we can identify the local content to ensure that our youth know what they could compete in, we will help ourselves by making sure that those people who may not have a lot of resources get a better chance of competing. At the national level, we need to make sure that we have a firm foundation for the future of this country to a point where, we will control the economy of this country. What is happening right now is that we are handing over the economic activities of this country to foreigners. The only way to safeguard the future of our youth is to make sure that anybody who comes to do business in this country, they satisfy the local content. I hope that the proposed amendments will address the issue of the content levels that we need to specify in procurement to ensure that the youth in specific local areas are guaranteed some involvement and employment.
