Mr. Speaker, during this youth week, let us recommend ourselves to empower the youth with green skills as well as access to resources and opportunities. We must collaborate on policies that promote sustainable development, encourage eco-friendly practices and support initiatives that mitigate the impact of climate change. I am delighted to inform this esteemed House that the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA) under the leadership of its Chairperson, Hon. John Mukunji, MP. and the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Anthony Buluma, has taken a momentous step towards the empowerment of the youth during the commencement of this week's celebration. The KYPA in collaboration with the relevant stakeholders hosted an inspiring event yesterday at the County Hall, Mini Chamber within Parliament Buildings to launch the weeklong celebrations. This gathering provided a unique platform for young leaders from across the country to come together, exchange ideas and voice their vision for a sustainable world. During the event, we witnessed the enthusiasm and passion of the youth as they engaged in thoughtful discussions on pressing environmental issues and the key role they play in shaping our sustainable future. Their commitment to promoting green skills, echo consciousness and community involvement was truly commendable. Furthermore, the occasion served as a bridge between the youth and policymakers by fostering a dialogue that enabled the young parliamentarians and their more experienced counterparts to exchange perspectives and collaborate on actionable solutions for a sustainable world. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we navigate the challenges of this rapidly changing world, we must recognize that the solutions lie in the hands of our youth. By empowering them with green skills and nurturing their ideas, we lay the foundation for a sustainable, inclusive and prosperous future for Kenya and the global community. I call upon the Senate to engage with county governments to explore avenues to fast track imparting our youth with green skills for a sustainable world. I thank you for the opportunity to make this Statement."
