    "content": "First and foremost, although most people have supported this Motion, I urge Hon. Mwaura that after this, he must have this Motion as a Bill because everyone who has stood up has supported it with very good ideas. I know for sure that there have been attempts in the past to assist the youth and to tap the youth empowerment strategies, but they have not yielded anything. One which was done during the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Government was the Economic Stimulus Programme for the youth. Had it been taken seriously, we would be a step forward. The other one is the Youth Enterprise Development Fund which has been embezzled and we have ourselves to blame for the same. So, the youth have not benefited. Instead, some individuals stole all the money that was supposed to have helped the youth. The other attempt which was made - and which was very commendable - was during Mzee Moi’s time. He did very well. We had the Nyayo car and Uhuru programmes. I drive one of the vehicles that were assembled locally. It is called “Uhuru”. It is an Isuzu motor vehicle. The Head of State then, President Moi, did very well. We had a plant in the National Youth Service in Ruaraka that assembled motor vehicles locally. Had we actually come in and facilitated the programme, we would be talking about something else."
