    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, people have said that we have created too many authorities and parastatals in this country and wondered whether we need one more. I would want us to pause for one moment and ask ourselves--- Even the Budget and Appropriations Committee went through this and worked out the cost of running this programme and found that it will be around Kshs600 million. Is this too much to do for our young people? Is unemployment not such a huge problem? We have parastatals on everything, including on potatoes and so many other things, but not a single Government entity that is fully focused specifically and deliberately on addressing youth unemployment. I do not think this is too much to do not just for our young people but also for the country. When you take any legislative or policy move to improve the wellbeing of our young people, you are not doing the youth a favour. You are doing the country a great service."
