"content": " Therefore, it is a good thing and we must entertain the social wellbeing of our youth. What Hon. Keter is addressing is very pertinent and a real-life situation. We must support the youth. Let the candidates be examined and for the qualified ones, they can reference their documents. Why should we gag and bar somebody with knowledge from the university from sitting an interview? What Hon. Keter is addressing is good and we should support our youth. Whenever there are employment opportunities, let as many people as possible apply so that once shortlisted, they can be interviewed and get a chance to serve in the position advertised. As I conclude, we need to consider job creation because of the kind of education we are offering our youth. How are we offering employment to our youth? Is it just because they want to be employed in offices or because we want to train them to be open in terms of self-employment? As we address this issue of discrimination, let us also consider the kind of education we are giving to our youth. Let us encourage Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVETs). As they train, they should not go for formal employment. Instead they should seek self-employment. As we do this, we need to bring on board the funding perspective. So, if these documents are available, they can seek funds from Government organisations like the Uwezo Fund and others. One can make a proposal and get funds to start their own enterprise and move on without being gagged because of not having something to show in terms of history. I want to thank Hon. Keter because he has already proposed a Bill which is with us and has been assented to. The people who will be awarding honours this year should award the youth like Hon. Keter, who are fighting for fellow youths. He is a good example of how the youths are supposed to defend themselves in the future. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this amendment Bill."
