    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I congratulate Hon. Keter for bringing this Bill. As previous speakers have said, the rate of unemployment in this country is over 60 per cent. When the youth apply for jobs, they face so many bottlenecks. They are required to comply with so many requirements such as producing Certificates of Good Conduct, clearance certificates from the CRB, among many other certificates. Complying with these requirements takes much time and money. By the time you get the certificates, the time frame for application has already lapsed. The cost of implication is also so high. We need to see how we can manage this process. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, even though this Bill is very good, we need to see how to create more jobs for youths and women. We need to have equal opportunities. There are instances when somebody advertises a job vacancy and there are so many applicants."
