Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, most of us are in this august House courtesy of the youth support. It is only good for us to support this Motion for youth empowerment. I remember I participated actively in facilitating the election of the youth from the grassroots level when they were electing officials to this National Youth Council. Surprisingly, the Government shelved this important function of our youth and did not give money to functionalize the NYC.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we look at some of our priorities and we tend to have our priorities upside down. If you remember the Post-election Violence (PEV) of 2007/2008, the people who participated actively were our youth just because this is a hungry lot of people who have been used by us politicians and then dumped immediately after we have ascended to power. It is important that this segment of the population is empowered and given the mandate to operationalise this Council.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the current budgetary estimates, there is no provision for this NYC. So, it just looks like the Government is still not serious about empowering the youth despite having come to power on the platform of going to empower the youth.

Thank you. It will be good for us to have our youth empowered and we shall have eliminated one of their survival tactics; which is resorting to crime for survival. It is not by choice that the youth resort to crime but because they lack something to do. The youth is a very active group of people with a lot of energy which, if not properly tapped, shall be wasted in crime. Therefore, I support this Motion knowing very well that this country will only progress if we empower our youth who comprise about 65 per cent of our population. ...
