    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in contributing to this Statement. Employment, especially what has been raised by Sen. Loitiptip, is of much concern. Yesterday, we had a Statement from Sen. Faki on the leadership of the maritime department. Today, we are talking about discrimination against the youth in the same department. When a region is complaining so much especially with regard to employment and discrimination, those people need to be listened to. We entertained devolution and are here to defend it. Devolution is all about the locals and how best we can empower them. Youth are part of these locals from the Coast. If one can discriminate the locals based on the language they speak and the skills, they have - they already have the skills; the problem is only the language – they must be told that it is the worst thing they can ever give to the region. Mombasa just like any other region in this Kenya needs to be respected. The coastal people, whether they have educational qualifications or not, have skills and can deliver. These jobs need to be given to the youth. We need to empower devolution in the Coastal region by especially giving the youth at the Coast maritime jobs. We always blame the youth in the region that they are drug addicts. Why should we then deny them the jobs they deserve just because of a statement that can be made in English?"
