    "content": "I rise to support this Bill because I believe that if we must make Kenya what it should be and what we have wanted it to be for so long, we must get the bulk of the population working. This is where so many countries we admire started. If we have 70 per cent of the people of this country who are the youth not sitting in offices, not working in industries and not driving the economy, then there is no way we can achieve the Vision 2030 and double digit economic growth that we so much aspire. We speak so much of the New Deal of the United States in the 1930s. The biggest thing the New Deal did was to make the youth work in the Tennessee Valley and in so many authorities. I am happy that through this Bill, we are creating an authority that will mainstream the youth and that will make young people, who are the majority of the population of Kenya, get work. So many times, this National Assembly has been misunderstood in what it has done. That is what necessitated the statement we made yesterday and so many other times.
