"content": "labour. Unskilled labour is also a very big problem in our counties because these are people who are idle and who have not been trained. Every morning, when you wake up, you find them standing in market places talking, but you cannot know what they are talking about. Probably, that is when they plan on how to get themselves drunk or get involved in crime. It is high time that we, as legislators, came to their rescue. Another point is about preparing the youth and filling the gap between the youth, the aged and the middle managers. You will find the Government calling retirees to come back and take up certain positions in the Government and yet, we have our youth whom we have spent so much money on in terms of loans. Parents and communities also spend a lot of money educating these youth. Some of them are educated by the community because they are from very poor backgrounds. Why can we not absorb these youth in the system so that we train them? When Senators retire, we should have “dot-coms” coming here who are well versed with the Standing Orders, the Constitution and who understand devolution. Some of us are new. However, being new does not mean that one cannot learn. I have been learning about the Standing Orders and the Constitution. I want to encourage ladies that we are in this House by virtue of a good Constitution and, therefore, must represent our people who voted for us. We should have full participation even if we will make mistakes. There is nothing wrong in making mistakes because devolution is new to everybody. So, nobody has an upper hand over the other, except my learned friend."
