    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill. At the outset, clearances and checks are critical and important for employment. You cannot just employ people who may not have been of good behavior and respect. For instance, today we are seeing what is happening in schools. The students who are burning school facilities should not be allowed to get employment, unless there is proof that they have been rehabilitated. Therefore, clearances are quite important. The only problem is that they should not be obtained at a very high fee. If there is any fee, it must be minimal or none at all so that access to employment is done freely for our children. It could also be important to categorise the kind of jobs that will require certain clearances, and the others that may not need them at all. They should also be brought to the local level, like at the county governments and sub county governments, so that they could be easily done. Unlike today, things like certificate of good conduct have to take long because it is centrally done. In the modern time, we are trying to bring everything to the devolved levels. I support."
