    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second this very important Bill brought to this House by Hon. Gideon Keter. This Bill could not have come at any other better time than this time when our youth are out there struggling to get jobs. This Bill is simply reducing the cost incurred by the youth while seeking jobs. I am concerned about the agony they go through in processing the various documents. These are young men and woman seeking jobs, probably, for the first time. They are subjected to seeking compliance certification or clearance from four different institutions so as to be considered for jobs. This Bill simply postpones that process until it is confirmed that the job seeker will actually be getting the job. The Committee subjected the Bill to various stakeholders who were involved in the clearance and compliance documents. They were all in agreement that this is a good proposal. We did not come across any serious opposition on the same. This affects the youth and we are not saying that the compliance and clearance processes are not necessary. We are simply saying that the processes could be done once the job seeker is confirmed or is deemed to have provided the necessary documents to be given the job."
