    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The only difference between an old person and a youth is that an old person knows both how to be young and old. A youth only knows how to be young. Therefore, a youth is averagely 60 years closer to the future than an older person if a youth is to die at the age of 95 years like our late former President, Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi. May his soul rest in peace. Youth matters in this nation are urgent and very important. They must be treated as such. When we come to the National Youth Council, the youth should be given their independence to elect leaders of their choice. The Cabinet Secretary must never take this opportunity to select leaders of their own choice. This should go up to the grassroot level, so that, at least, the youth are given an opportunity to get a person of their own interest. The National Youth Council should also be heavily funded. Money that gets lost through corruption should all be directed to youth development. The other day, the census report revealed that 75 per cent of Kenyans are young, of which approximately 60 per cent should be the youth. Therefore, if a youth decides to vie for the position of president in this nation, I assure you with my mouth closest to my nose, he or she will be."
