    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, allow me to appreciate and thank the Nominated Member, Hon. Keter Gideon, because this Bill is timely. It has come at a time when the issues he is addressing would have been best addressed in the BBI. Now that BBI is not there, I think he has taken a good shot. We are moving on well as we await the decisions of the Supreme Court. Hon. Keter is addressing issues of the youth and all of us must rise to the occasion and support the youth of this country. With the population rising and also the level of academics, it behoves us to consider the youth as a population that is really needy. Let us not train our youth and then leave them on their own. We must check what is happening to them whenever they seek employment. There is an issue Hon. Keter is addressing to do with documentation. Whereas documentation is necessary and supports in terms of selection and shortlisting, it should not gag people from participating. Remember the Constitution bars us from discriminating against anybody. We must not discriminate against our youth whenever they seek employment because of documentation which already exists. For example, an error might have happened and a youth is blacklisted by the CRB because of using fuliza to borrow money. Maybe, he wanted to date a girlfriend which is something normal for that age, then he is blacklisted because of failing to pay. Then, it comes a time when the very rightful and qualified youth seeks employment and CRB is on their necks. That is unfair and unfortunate.
