This is more so when one goes through the rigorous processes of police clearance, medical check-up and other processes only to be told that he has failed the interview. When such jobs come up again, the young men and women feel discouraged when they remember the kind of processes they will have to go through again to make their applications. It is for that reason that we are saying that we need to have this Bill passed, so that our youth will no longer be subjected to document processing when they are in unknown state. These documents are required to be attached to the application forms. So, at that stage, the young man or woman does not know whether they will get the job. Just to go for the interview or not be called for the interview yet they have gone through the rigorous process is not proper. Some of them even borrow money because as alluded to by the Mover, most of these processes are costly. Young men and women simply borrow money to acquire the documents only for them to fail to be called for interviews after presenting their applications. Therefore, we want a process where our youth are not locked out of jobs even before they are interviewed. We want to encourage them to apply. We would also like to encourage employers to take them through the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
