    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the PIC Report on the fraud at the YEDF. We have known for a long time that the intention of the YEDF, just like the Women Enterprise Development Fund (WEDF), the Uwezo Fund and others, has been to take care of the best interests of the youth of this country. I feel very pained when I read that over Kshs180 million from the YEDF cannot be accounted for. Who speaks for young people in this country? We have a lot of idiots in this country who purport to speak for young people. I am very sure that if we scrutinize the record of awarded tenders at the YEDF we will find out that the companies that benefited from those tenders are not led by young people. I am sure that the companies that benefited are led by a few idiots who cannot account for this money. It is wrong. Young people in this country have no voice. Young people in this country have no opportunities. Young people in this country have no employment. It is wrong and painful to see an avenue that has been created with the good intentions of helping the youth in this country being distorted by a few people. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kshs180 million is an amount of money that can revolutionize and modernize hospitals in this country. The other day you saw what happened in my county of Migori. Young people are now being used all over by politicians to cause chaos. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
