    "content": "Finally and more important, as we deal with procurement, we must understand, as a country, we are getting it wrong to think that in helping young persons, we must make them do business. Not everyone wants to do business and not everybody is a business person. We must be more innovative in helping young people. There are some who do not want to queue to procure and supply pens and paper. All they need is money to start farming. There are others who are just looking for money to do something else. There are even others who are just looking for money to acquire skills. How do we help them? The presumption is that every young person who cannot get a job must be driven into business is wrong. There are those who can do business and those who cannot do business. So, let us find a way, as we carry out affirmative action for those who are not business inclined, which may just be about 10 per cent of the entire youth of this country, who cannot sell timber, charcoal and who cannot do procurement work. How do we help the youth? We need a comprehensive policy. This is not about Jubilee or CORD. This is about all of us. We need a comprehensive policy on how to handle the situation of the huge population of disadvantaged and restless young people. We can give them promises, we can even play the tribal card like many people are playing, but it will not help. When the hungry are hungry, it matters not what barriers you place in their way; they will go through the wall and reach the food. We must start thinking in this direction. That is why there are those who come here blindly and think that we are just here to defend, do not just defend things that you do not understand. You should defend things that you understand. I beg to support."
