Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I second, I would like to say a few words. This informal sector forms a good percentage of the workforce. Most of the young people in this country have not got a chance to go through the education system. Many young people say they do not have the wisdom to choose the right parenthood but they have the wisdom to choose their future. So, they chose their future through the informal sector and they have, for many years, gained experience at the workforce without necessarily going through the education system. We cannot just wish away ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. In fact, the Member for Mathare has read my mind in presenting this Motion. This Motion is timely. They say that the youth of a nation are the trustees of prosperity. Therefore, as a nation, we have a choice either to take advantage of the youth population bulge to spur the economic growth or to leave them to become a menace. Several funds have existed in the country on youth programmes, one of them being the Uwezo Fund. Some of these funds point to Uwezo Fund that was mostly geared ...

When we talk about the agenda four of President Uhuru’s Government, we see a main focus on manufacturing. We cannot talk of manufacturing if we do not take care of the many youths who are supposed to be skilled enough.

Yes, whether they are small or big, they are all important. So, let us call it the Big Four Agenda for the satisfaction of my colleague. We should not lose sight though. What is important is that it touches on manufacturing. For us to achieve a milestone in the Big Four Agenda, we must be talking clearly about equipping our youths with necessary skills in production. Some of these national funds for the youths will be used to take care of training institutions to equip our youth.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Without consuming my time, I would like to make my comments. I rise to support this Motion by Mheshimiwa Washiali. It is quite a timely one. Our youth, mostly the adolescent children, are exposed to internet and social networks and what they learn there, the movies they watch and what they read influence their lives. In that case, most of them become juvenile delinquents. It calls for a programme to re-evaluate our rehabilitation centres in terms of strengthening them, establishing others in areas that do not have and equipping them to standards that are ...

children are brought up in the rightful manner that is befitting of our nation. Most of the parents love their children so much to an extent that they do not punish them where they need to correct them. They do not even try to inflict some pain where necessary because of the love they have for their children. When they are left at the mercy of teachers, some rogue teachers go beyond disciplining children. So, this Motion is timely. We have been passing so many Motions in this Parliament. What is not clear is what happens subsequently. Do we follow ...
