    "content": "years. In the last three years, many parts of Kericho, Bomet and even parts of the North Rift have had a share of this problem of maize necrosis. Therefore, we need to have more allocation so that we can compensate the farmers even by ensuring that they get free seeds and fertiliser. On security, the allocation is okay. But the people in charge of security should ensure that they have clear programmes on dealing with insecurity in this country. We need to go back to the situation in the past where the Government had proper information. We need to employ more people who are properly trained to collect proper information and give it to the Government on time. They should combat terrorism and all the other threats to this country. We must also appreciate that most of the insecurity in this country is as a result of lack of employment for our youth. We need to discourage our youth from joining groups like the AlShabaab by ensuring that they are empowered. The youth should be given all the opportunities that come up. We should support the programmes which have been put in place through the National Youth Service (NYS). We want to encourage the people who are in charge of NYS to use the money that has been allocated to them for the right purposes and ensure that our youths are well trained. We have had claims of corruption. We want to encourage them to avoid corruption, so that our youth can benefit. We can even double the allocation, so that the majority of the youths who attained Grade D and below, those who went up to Standard Eight and even those who did not reach Standard Eight can get their livelihoods through the NYS. They cannot get their share if we have corrupt elements at NYS. If they are there, they should be smoked out. I want to support this Appropriation Bill. I urge the House to support it."
