    "content": "Bomet County, any constituency distributing money from the youth fund to youth groups. It is so worrying to figure out where this money goes because we allocate and we do not see it. It is in the interest of the country to consider the innovativeness and creativity of the youth. They need to start being equipped with entrepreneurial skills. It is so important that we make this National Youth Council active so that all of us can see the fruits of our youth in this country. I look at the rallies that we normally do. If you want to see how the youth of this country are misused… They are only engaged in political programmes and not things that are sustainable with regard to their lives. You will find in a rally more than 20,000 people on working days, that is, Monday to Friday. That shows you that the youth are just there to be used by most of us. There is the BBI programme whose fate is yet to be decided. It is important that we all value our youth and create a position for them. I hear most people say that if we have a male in a leadership position, then a female should deputise him. However, we need to create a specific position that will be held by the youth of this country so that they can be able to fully participate and have their issues discussed in boardrooms. They should also sit and dine with the leadership of this country. With those very many remarks, I beg to support this amendment Bill."
