    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to also add my voice to this important Statement. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to condole with the people of Garissa County and the family of the late Sen. Yusuf Haji because I was not here yesterday when that Motion was debated. Sen. Haji served as the Provincial Commissioner (PC) for Rift Valley for many years. We feel the loss of the Senator as a country. On the Statement by Sen. Olekina, it is clear that there is a huge problem of unemployment in Kenya. Whenever there is an employment opportunity in Kenya, a number of youths run to look for an opportunity to serve. It is true that so many have been cheated. I discussed with a certain parent yesterday who told me that they paid Kshs300,000 to a certain officer. After several people made payment to the officer, he did not turn to see them as agreed. This is happening across the country. I urge the Ministry and the Committee concerned to make sure that the recruitment exercise is transparent. As Sen. Orengo has said, they should see that there is equal distribution of these slots to all the communities in all the counties so that everyone gets a chance. I urge parents not to rush to pay cartels. It might not be the Ministry recruiting officers, but thieves who have recruited themselves as middlemen to engage these young people. It is high time the Ministry of Defense tracks the cartels who are taking money from innocent citizens."
