    "content": "We cannot purely make those corporations avenues to give jobs to people who have already exceeded their usefulness. We have several young people who are looking for these jobs. By the way, most of the young people who are demonstrating are able to work in the digital economy. Most of them are earning online. What they want to be implemented by the Government currently is to ensure that they have a conducive environment where they can smoothly make their money so that we are not making them poor and creating paradises for ourselves. Let us not downplay the whole issue of agitation for change in this country. It is real. Most of my friends were actually on the streets and I could not actually tell them anything because then they would think I am here to praise and worship the government that has given me an appointment. Sometimes, it is also good to speak the truth as it is because it is one way of making our governance better. Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, I want to say something which I would not have in my few remaining years in this House. To the President, we need radical changes. People need to see heads rolling. We have had people who have been implicated in several scandals, which are well known in public domain. Politics should be separated from friendship. Mr. President, if you hold on to your friends, we might unfortunately sink down with them. So separate friendship from work. We are here to support your agenda. I believed in your agenda and I still do. We need to separate politics from friendship for us to steer this nation forward so that we do not see the unnecessary issues we are seeing now. As we see now, the protesters have been infiltrated by anarchists who want to take us back to where we have been. This is not about Gen Z. It should be a general call by Kenyans and let it start with us MPs."
