    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this proposed amendment by the great Member of Parliament for Nakuru East, Hon. Gikaria. This amendment reflects the actual situation in the country. Kenyan youths are educated and are very many. My constituency, Navakholo, is also affected by the number of youths who need employment. The only way to create employment is to have an environment that enables the youth to stand independently. The only way you can do it is by enabling all the instruments that make one to be a responsible employer or perform a particular function. The proposal by the great Member of Parliament for Nakuru East, going together with what Hon. Sakaja did in the 11th Parliament, is a good thing. He is suggesting that we enable the youths, women and PWDs who intend to start their businesses to do so without being requested by NCA for registration fees for the licenses. Nowadays, when you want to apply for a job, you are told to produce tax compliance, a certificate of incorporation and an NCA certificate, which empowers you to do so. If you allow Kenyan youths, women and PLWDs to get those documents, you simply say that all the functions should be available. The 30 per cent should go to the right people at will. However, as people who are in the field, what are we experiencing? I wish to draw the attention of the Member of Parliament for Nakuru East that let this not attract Kenyans who want to misuse this opportunity. There is a likelihood that many persons who already have established enterprises want to take advantage of this position. They now incorporate companies and say that those companies are young. I propose tying this up during the Committee of the Whole House. Anyone whose pin shall reflect as incorporating another company will be deemed to have already established an ongoing enterprise. That is so that this goes to start-ups only or those coming out fresh and new. Those people come from universities, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
