    "content": "Again, I urge young people that when they get the opportunity to join the polytechnics, they should give all their attention to what they are taught. If they do this, by the time they leave, they will be able to support themselves and take care of their families. Today, many of us are complaining that young people are jobless, but in every county--- Even as we were coming here, a young man was asking us to help him get a job. Anywhere you go, that is the plea. That is the dilemma that our young people are in. I suggest that as we empower and encourage them to go to polytechnics and study, let us also think of some funds, not only to educate them, but also to even start small businesses. This will ensure that they do not go back to the streets or remain hopeless. Let us ensure that they can go back, form groups and start their own businesses, so that they can stand on their own and support their families. If we invest in their education and cannot support them to start businesses, then our investment is useless and may not help them a lot. So, let us think of how we can empower them and walk with them. Our young people today are missing a lot in life because they have no role models. We all condemn our young girls because of moving with old men, who misuse them and, at the end of the day, frustrate them. This is because they have no alternatives. We, as mothers, as we discourage them from doing that, what alternative can we give to our boys so that they are not misused by older ladies? It is high time for us, as a nation and as leaders, to think of how we can deliver our young people from the problems and challenges they are facing today. If we cannot do that, this nation will suffer. We are already suffering and we will suffer even more. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to support."
