    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the words that I am speaking about have meaning to these youths. If you communicate with them with these words, they understand because that is the best way they can understand. I am talking about this, there are even words and signs that these Gen Zs use in terms of communication. If you look at even just the way they are dancing or they are moving their bodies, they use it to communicate. I can assure you that if these youths came to this Senate and they stood outside, they would say, “Anguka nayo, ama angukana Spika\" . Those words mean something. I am saying this because we need to relate with them. I am talking about the disconnect between the youth and the national Government which is wide. The only way these youths can understand is by nominating them not only as Cabinet Secretaries, but also as advisors or the boards have to have the youths represented, so that they can address the issues that are affecting them. Finally, the crowd that was on those streets was because of the unemployment that we have. One of the youths was saying that the only mistake we made was to educate them. Those were the sentiments these youths were talking about. They were even regretting going to school. They are even saying, \"The problem you people did was educating us and that is why we are here.\" They can read and understand everything. This is to show you how frustrated they are. One thing I would like to urge our Government on behalf of our youths is that most of them are now online marketers. As a result of unemployment, they go to social media and teach themselves to be online marketers. The majority of the youths who are on those streets are content creators by nature. You can imagine, the number of youths who are on the streets made the world know whatever is happening in Kenya. That means the communication was loud. How do they communicate? It is through the social media platforms; TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and others. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
