    "content": "We have seen the Uwezo Fund, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, the Women Enterprise Development Fund. It is quite a lot of money and has helped quite a lot of people. Unfortunately, the youth Fund is not well utilized. The youths are not taking up money, and I believe it is because they lack ideas. The age group of 35 to 50 years can utilize this money. If the Government does not have enough funds, then it can take portions of the Uwezo Fund, the Women Enterprise Development Fund or the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and put them into the proposed fund, which will cater for this group that has been very much neglected. In our constituencies, every time you attend a baraza, you find men of between 35 and 50 years of age asking when this Government will create a fund for them. So, if we create a fund for this group, it will bridge the gap that has been created by these other funds. With those few remarks, I wish to support this Motion and urge hon. Humphrey Njuguna, as hon. Wakhungu has said, to go ahead and come up with a Bill which we shall pass into an Act of Parliament to create this Fund."
