    "content": "you are able to establish from these agencies, so that you have the choice to keep the employee or let them relinquish the job. I would urge the Government to ensure that the young people looking for jobs are not restricted in any way through these documents. The minimum amount required for all these documents is about Ksh6,000. You apply for a job, which you are not sure of getting. The following day another job comes up and you need to apply. Within one month, you have spent over Ksh30,000 yet you have nothing to show for it. I sit on the ICT Committee and I want to recommend that when the Bill gets to the next stage we have to look at the usefulness of Huduma Namba. With every Kenyan having registered for Huduma Namba, you are able to access information about somebody through the number, if you are serious. So, it is important that the Government sets up an agency from which prospective employers can access the information they require. During probation, employers will be able to get every kind of information that is required. We need to remove all these bottlenecks that hinder our young people from looking for employment. That is the bottom line. There is an outcry. Some of the youth have missed out on a lot of opportunities, not only in private organisations but also in Government, just because they do not have the Ksh3,000 to get the certificates required during employment. It is important to ensure that these amendments are implemented to the letter. The youth are crying and 80 per cent of the population is made up of young people looking for employment. Tertiary institutions release youth every year. We must stamp our authority and create a way for the youth to get what they need at the right time and the right age. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to be that brief so that I give opportunity to other Members to contribute because they equally have the young generation in their constituencies. I support."
