    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to join my colleagues in thanking our colleague, Sen. Catherine Mukite, for bringing this Motion, which has elicited a lot of response and debate. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I stand here remembering the Grand Coalition Government, I was the first Permanent Secretary (PS) for industrialization in the year 2008 and, lately, the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Wetangula, was just the immediate Minister for Trade; trade now falls under Enterprise Development. This issue has come at a time when we must look at the rate at which Kenyan university graduates are coming out of the universities and colleges. Did you know that we have between 100,000 to 200,000 graduates every year graduating with their various certificates? Did you also know that less than 10 per cent of these graduates are getting any formal employment in any established jobs? To the extent that most of my students – because I was a principal of a university college for five years – when they come out, they come out with a certificate on the right hand and they are waiting for a job. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
