    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would want to support this Motion, but there are a few things that the Mover of the Motion said that I need to correct. He said that the betting tax was reduced. He talked of 35 per cent. I believe he did not understand it. It was never reduced. What was done was re-allocation. The 35 per cent still stands. It is the 35 per cent in the sense that 15 per cent is tax on the betting companies and 20 per cent goes to those who win the bets. For example, the one who won the jackpot yesterday is going to pay Kshs40 million to the National Treasury. That is beside the point. As a country, we need to think of where our youths are going. We need to also see how we are going to empower them because in my constituency, we have youth centers. But the issue is how to run them. Three years ago, we did five youth centers. The problem has been how to run them and empower the youth. How do you get people to come and train them and give them kits - the ones Mhe. Aluoch was talking about? The way he has gone about it is good, but we need to know how all the other youth funds which are currently there will be collapsed into one. If we are going to give even the 2.5 per cent of the NG-CDF, that will be sufficient."
