    "content": "It will also be remembered that in the last Budget of 2009/2010 Financial Year, we had the Kazi Kwa Vijana Progamme that was aimed at giving viable short term employment to the young people in this country. We pumped substantial amount money through Government Ministries. Through these efforts many of the youths in urban centres and rural areas have had the opportunity to work and earn from the work that they have done. Our hope is that some of these programmes will not be a one-off programme, but would be continuous to ensure that we support the young people of this country and give them hope that they deserve now. It is also worth noting that at a time like now when we are looking at Vision 2030, it is important that we look at the infrastructure and where we want to be then. But we must also ask ourselves the people who will drive the Vision 2030. If the young people we see every other day who are engrossed in drinking illicit brews are the people who will drive the Vision 2030, then we have a lot to be worried about. I believe that this Report has very useful recommendation that will enable us to come up with the right policies to be able to address the bigger and wider problem of the youth and organized crime in this country. If adopted, I am sure we will be able to address the issue once and for all."
