    "content": "Youth and Women Enterprise Development funds have had their successes in various areas, we do know that generally, they have not succeeded as much because of lack of championship and accountability from the political leadership. I am happy that this has come to the House. The County Members of Parliament did also move to have this money come through Parliament. Initially, the thinking was that since Members of Parliament have Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), the County Members of Parliament would have the Uwezo Fund. Then we went to an arrangement that was 50-50, and finally we were, in fact, outside the House and we managed to come back inside the House. I am happy that we are going to find a way of working together. If we ask for one or two additional slots, I do pray that we get those slots so that we are also able to operate efficiently within the constituencies and work hand in hand with our County Members of Parliament. The most important thing is that we hope that our youth are going to use this opportunity to come together and get into enterprises that are going to succeed, so that by 2017 we have a culture where it is our youth supporting the politicians rather than asking for handouts. That is because they will have succeeded accordingly. With those many remarks, I support the Motion."
