    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I support the Motion. We know that the youth of today are leaders of tomorrow. The youth comprise a large population of this country and the work force. It is important that we support and nurture them especially when they come up with innovations. Unfortunately, as Hon. Mwaura has clearly stated, they are not able to realise their dreams. As legislators, it is incumbent upon us to make sure that there are conducive legislations to enable them to realise their dreams and to take this nation to greater heights in the realisation of our Vision 2030. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is important to know that there are many talented youth out there, not only in urban areas, but also in rural areas. As we create this fund, it is important to come up with a system to search and identify these talents. We should establish centres where we can nurture the talents that are identified from schools, science congresses and annual innovation weeks. It is also important that these youths are linked to companies where they would be supported to realise their dreams. As they do this, they can get jobs and funding to realise their dreams. I support the Motion. A lot of money is going to waste through corruption and other avenues. We need to use this money for our youth. This money should be used to support the youth innovations for them to realise their dreams. Instead of nurturing the youth to learn how to be corrupt and getting billions of shillings in weeks and months, they can work using their brains and their hands. If we support them, we will have a corrupt-free country."
