    "content": "I am also looking forward to working with my fellow Members to solve various issues affecting this country, especially joblessness amongst our young people. We have a lot of crises in this country but that of unemployment is one that requires serious attention. I am looking forward to bringing Motions to this House that are going to solve this menace. In his Speech, the President was able to say a few things that would solve this issue and have our jobless youth get an opportunity to work and continue with their lives. The President spoke of the hustlers’ fund which he promised to give Kshs50 billion at first so that it can help our young people. I hope this money will be given good legislation by this House so that it gets into the right hands. As it has been mentioned by my fellow Members, we have had the issue of funds not getting to the intended persons and, therefore, not having an impact on the right people. I am looking forward to being part of that team. We had a good role on the issue of procurement of Government equipment and tenders that can help solve the issue of joblessness. There was a promise of 30 per cent procurement. We would like to ensure that this House legislates that if people do not follow such rules, they should be brought to book. Hon. Speaker, the issue of Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) is one that has affected many young people. We have had more than 19 million Kenyans listed as not credit worthy. I am happy with the presidential direction. It is a step in the right direction. We are hoping to improve on that and ensure that we legislate to ensure that CRBs will be ranking our people instead of blacklisting them.
