    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity just to thank the President for his State of the Nation Address. He talked about corruption and the need to finish corruption. We need to establish many places in this country where tourists can come to visit. That way, our people will get jobs. We have a problem with regard to poverty in this country. It has made our people lag behind. In the coffee and tea subsectors of agriculture, so many things are not going well. The President should think about how he will help farmers in Kenya. We know that farmers are the pillar of this country. Without enough food for the people of this country, we will not move far. It is bad for someone to go hungry. We also want the President to think about the elders in the villages who help chiefs and the Provincial administrators. They need to be given some money to enable them move around. We also need the President to think about our youth. We have so many youths in this country who are jobless. Even if you give them money through Uwezo Fund or allocate them tenders through the 30 per cent- tenders-for-youth law, they still are faced with problems. The youth do not have facilities. When they go seeking money from the Uwezo Fund they are told to give collateral. How do you expect a young person from the university to provide collateral? The youth should be allowed to present to the bank a guarantee from the Government so that the banks release the money to them."
