    "content": "societies. Youth unemployment is a national disaster and we need to take care of our youth because we always say they are the future. But I think they are the present. We have to tackle our present to have a good future. I support Hon. Oluoch. We need to see how we can turn this into a Bill. Motions are just Motions. They just urge the Government and nothing much comes out of them. We have done so many Motions. I did one in the last Parliament and I have lost favour with the Motions because nothing has been implemented to date. When they do not get implemented, people lose faith in the system of the Motions. So, we need to have Bills coming into Parliament so that we can pass and appropriate the right amount of money. When Hon. Osotsi was talking, he said: “We are going to do the constitutional amendments.” We never heard him doing anything unless he is going to bring something to Parliament. I know we have a Constitution already and I have not seen any amendments to it. So, we should be thinking ahead before doing what we are supposed to be doing. Let us do the small things we are doing like the Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India. He said he is a small man who wants to do big things for the small people. So, I congratulate the Member who brought the Motion. I support the Motion which seeks to establish a national youth fund which will ensure that our youths are empowered."
