    "content": "Finally, an intern shall be liable to have his or her internship discontinued on grounds of absence from the Public Service institution without permission or reasonable cause for a period exceeding 24 hours. Interns should know that this Bill not only safeguards and protects them, but they also need to know that absenteeism is not a matter that will be condoned during the internship period. Gross misconduct or disorderly conduct, unsatisfactory performance, failure to obey any lawful instructions or commission of a criminal offence will also be grounds for discontinuity. An intern may terminate an internship by submitting a 30-day notice in writing to the person in charge of the Public Service. I urge this House and Hon. Members to support this Bill because it brings together our youths and gives them opportunities to acquire relevant skills and experience while ensuring that they do it in a dignified manner. I urge the Government of the day to continue to provide money for their recruitment. I am happy that in 2018, 2019 and 2020, Ksh1 billion was provided in the budget for recruitment of interns. If anything, I would urge that more money be put into the internship programme so that we mop up our youths and give them experience. It can give them skills to even venture into other areas on their own. We have also included those who are in TVET institutions because the country is focusing and emphasising on the important roles that our TVETs play.
