    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, up to now, it is presumed that the purpose of going to school is, in fact, for young people to get jobs. We would like to persuade citizens and all of us that getting a job is only one outcome of going to school. In fact, the bigger question is about making people effective as individuals, whether they are in the employment of somebody else or whether they are employing others. For us in my Ministry, the question of industrialization is very significant because it depends on expectations. The uptake of many Government programmes today is not what it should be. For example, we have, in my Ministry, a small programme to support small business. We are given Kshs500 million and we keep going up and down but we cannot get customers because people are looking for jobs. They are not looking for entrepreneurship opportunities. Just in this Budget, the Government has made provision for Kshs3.8 billion to support small business. But we must be able to build a pipeline of viable small businesses that are interested in growth so that they can access those resources."
