    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, even the Uwezo Fund is very clear that for the youth, it is between 18 and 35 years and for women, it is 18 years and above. So, you cannot say people of all ages. That is wrong. But more fundamentally, I think that the Mover of this Motion failed to appreciate why the Women Enterprise Development Fund, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and the Uwezo Fund were created. Those funds were created because we had noticed a vacuum. We had noticed that there are marginalized members of this society who needed affirmative action so that we could bring them to a level where they could also compete with other Kenyans. It cannot be denied that women of this country and even the rest of Africa and beyond are marginalized. Even if you go to the United States of America, you will find that the women members of the Congress are less than 10 per cent. So, women are marginalized in the whole world. Therefore, they need affirmative action to bring them to a level where they can compete with other Kenyans. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
