• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: When we were campaigning, we made some promises to the youth. Some of them were depending on us when we were campaigning. Now that the campaigns are over, we have a situation which can pose challenges in terms of security because the youth are no longer getting the kind of support that we used to give them during the campaign period.

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another thing we need to note is that this Council is quite representative. The current Council members are quite well distributed within the country. So, these people come from different parts of the country. Therefore, the youth in this country are fairly represented in the Council. Our support will enable all the youth in this country to benefit from their activities. They will be able to share information. Hon. Members realise that the youth are actually ahead of most of us in terms of use of IT to share information. With the support they will get ... view
