    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this opportunity to support the Senate amendment and welcome what has taken place this afternoon in this August House. We are now going to see Uwezo Fund in our constituencies, and see the women and youth who have been waiting for it for a long time improve their livelihood. Capacity building should be done in a different way. We have to be very careful and ensure that all the groups that are going to benefit from Uwezo Fund are empowered effectively, so that they can use the money in the best way possible, so that they are able to return the money for others to also borrow. The way we are going to see the Uwezo Fund being rolled out in our constituencies must be different. We have been having the women and youth enterprise funds, but they have not been effective. I know that with Uwezo Fund and the way we are going to constitute the committees, we will ensure that there is a good change in our constituencies, and people are not going to be as poor as they have been. Since it is going to be a credit fund, borrowers will be involved in adding value to the crops that we are growing in our counties. We will see cottage industries coming up. All of us should be involved. I support."
