    "content": "Thank you very much hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I would also like to support this Motion by hon. Njuguna. I think it is a very timely Motion because one of the challenges that we are having in our country is unemployment. We all agree that it will not be possible to get everybody a salaried job, or to be employed in an office or such an environment. So, the best we can do is to look for how we can occupy our people and make them busy. We should make them economically empowered. I do feel that this is one of the routes that we should take. Our people are hardworking and, therefore, are willing to work. One of the challenges that they face is how to raise capital that will enable them undertake various activities. I thank the Government for the other funds that have been established; I think they are playing their part. We just need to ensure that those who were left out are also covered. I see this Motion filling that gap. Hon. Deputy Speaker, generally as it has been observed, we have been concentrating so much – rightly so - on the girl-child at some stage. However, we might do it at the expense of the boy-child who, as he grows and goes beyond age 35, he will be feeling very much discriminated against and left out. So, this idea of setting up a fund will concentrate on supporting entrepreneurial activities, skills and initiatives.
