    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we, therefore, only provided for 11,000 teachers to be employed. Out of this number, the 4,000 teachers will replace those who have left the service through natural attrition. If you look at the health sector, we only provided for the employment of 600 nurses. If you look at the other sectors, like the technical areas, you will find that the number provided for by our Government is below the expectation. Therefore, through this Motion, the Government is being urged to come up with a new Bill dubbed \"the New Deal\" of looking at the issue of employment of the youth. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even if you look at the private sector, with regard to the tax proposals, Kenya has been marked as one of the most highly taxed countries in the world. Therefore, there are no incentives. For example, if you look at the private sector, the Government July 18, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2595 imposed Excise Duty on imported second-hand spare parts, which, actually, forms a very important component in terms of giving the motor industry the impetus that it requires. Therefore, the New Deal will be a supplementary effort to the Ministry of Youth Affairs which the Government has only given Kshs1 billion to alleviate the problem in trying to empower the youth. Therefore, with the use of these funds, we will be able to bring educated young Kenyans who are qualified into gainful employment."
