    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the next point that I would like to dwell on is the issue of employment of our youth. Every year, we are churning out graduates from our universities, secondary schools, tertiary colleges and primary schools - those who cannot afford to join secondary schools. All those people are out there, unable to be absorbed in the employment sector. That is cause of the rising crime in the Republic. It is high time the Government came up with concrete policies for job creation. Since it is not possible to create jobs for all the graduates that are being churned out from our institutions every year, the Government should come up with policies that are lenient to them, so that it can be possible for them to access credit facilities and engage in enterprises that can sustain their lives. At the moment, it is very difficult for young people who are graduating from colleges to access credit facilities because of the conditionalities that are in place. That is because they are asked for collateral, security, title deeds and they do not have. Therefore, I believe the Government can come up with policies to help those people to access credit. The Government can also come up with policies to streamline the Kazi kwa Vijana Initiative, which it initiated a few years back. We have to make that initiative sustainable."
