    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am Hon. Lillian Siyoi not Liyoi. I happen to be a Member of the Committee and I was among those vetting the nominee. I think we are doing injustice to the youth of this country because we have millions of graduates in different fields, but there are no jobs in this country. If we deny the youths an opportunity to get employment, how do we expect them to start their lives? We advise a majority of them to start businesses and employ themselves, but where will they start if we do not give them a platform to do so? I agree with my fellow Members of the Departmental Committee on Labour that we should give the youth of this country the first priority in employment, so that they can employ themselves. In addition, we should come up with a law that states that anybody who has attained 65 years of age and above should be considered for consultancy jobs because he or she is knowledgeable and experienced. Those are the people that can help and advise the youth in various fields. I support the Motion."
