If we are going to look at issues to do with gender, we should open opportunities for the boy-child because he has been disadvantaged. Take an example of the allocation of resources in the Youth Fund and Uwezo Fund where a man of 35 years is thrown out and is not given an opportunity, you go to Women Enterprise Fund the boy-child has been locked out.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to briefly contribute to this Bill. I support this important Bill because we have the national Government and the county governments. I believe that, as a county, we are headed in the right direction.
