    "content": "they should absorb the interns first, so that other people can also be accommodated through the internship and then employed permanently. Parliament should take very seriously and put emphasis on programmes that support the youth of this country because they are the present and future. This will enable them to be empowered to access job markets through proper training and internships that become available. I have also seen that the Budget and Appropriations Committee has tried to put some money into ongoing projects. This is the way to go. Where we already have existing projects, we do not need to start new ones and create elephant projects all over the country. Priority should be given to ongoing projects, so that they can be completed and Kenyans can benefit from taxes they have already paid. In this regard, I am happy because one of the projects that is ongoing in my constituency, the Gichugu Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), has already been considered for completion. It will give opportunities to young Kenyans and Generation Z to be trained in areas they can employ themselves. All Kenyans will not be absorbed into white-collar jobs in this country. The way forward is to train young people to be self-employed. As I wind up, all Government institutions and accounting officers should also take responsibility in accounting and accountability of public resources so that every coin can be put into proper use. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
