    "content": "Committee on Energy, we need to style this in such a way that the Cabinet Secretary can license any competent national state agency instead of restricting it to the Numerical Machining Complex and Kenya Shipyards Limited. The amendments under the National Employment Authority Act are sad reading. In this Bill, we perpetuate the old stereotype, that a job must be one in which someone is formally employed. That is why we are introducing a job seeker instead of what was there, a youth. Having, a job seeker now means that even a 70-year-old person could still be categorised as a job seeker. That will defeat the essence of the National Employment Authority Act whose focus was on the youth. When you read other provisions, by changing the word “youth” to “job seeker”, you defeat the amendments contained in Clause 2. Section 37 states thus: “The authority shall establish incentives to reward a private institution that employs Kenyans within six months of completing the certificate or undergraduate studies and does not possess more than five years’ experience.”"
