    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot be talking of creating jobs for our youth - giving figures of about 500,000 jobs per year - then stifle competition in the sector supposed to generate those jobs be it in the specific case of East African Breweries Limited (EABL) or any other sector. I urge the Committee to look very clearly and seriously at what the Competition Authority is doing to sort out this kind of issues. Since, we have been creating authorities and commissions that go to sleep immediately they are created. They do not take their job seriously. I urge the Committee, that when these Statements are given, they should follow them up. More than a month or two ago, I requested a Statement from the Committee on Roads and Transportation on the issue of the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund. Yesterday I checked with the Committee and there was no reply from the Cabinet Secretary. Those are the funds we have been allocating in the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) and we need to see what is being done. If the Cabinet Secretary cannot report back to us, then we will not have a way of checking what is going on. Whatever we are doing, we must have a follow up on this question so that whatever Members are asking is useful. Otherwise, when we generate questions here and they are not being responded to, then you are not doing any service to Kenyans."
