    "content": "talking about has not come out. He said that it was going to come out in the coming days. It is only a day after we spoke. So, we cannot deal with them until they fully come out and we know exactly what has been said. But we do not fear because we know that, as a Government, there is very little to hide. So, I have no fear that something untoward is going to come out of those communications; what Kenyans do not already know. With regard to the issue of youths, I have already said exactly what this Government feels, and what has been made clear to the Government of USA. It is not as if the Government is panicking! I have said that this Government cannot panic because some money is being given to some youths around the country. That money cannot empower our youths! What is Kshs1.2 billion? We, ourselves, are putting over Kshs5 billion in youth empowerment programmes, while the World Bank is putting US$61 million in the same programme. So, we are not afraid and I think that, that statement was only meant to point out the right channels through which that money needs to be put, so that the money can be more effective in helping to empower the youth of our country. I want to inform this House that we are at a very critical stage right now as a country in the process of implementing the Constitution. We need, at this moment, concerted efforts and unity of purpose. We want to work together with our friends from outside this country. We want our friends to help us in the process of trying to consolidate our people to unite them; not just along ethnic lines, but along gender lines, age lines and class lines. There are so many other classifications in our society and it is important that this country remains strong and united, so that we can be able to push through this very crucial phase of our country’s development. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
