    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, today, the NYS has got the best equipment for any infrastructure development that we would want. If we are able to open up the institutions, these are the same young people who will help the county governments develop their infrastructure. I hope the senior management team at the NYS will ensure that they start bidding for Government tenders. We might find that they are cheaper for the counties. This will also curb the issue of cartels because we shall be creating jobs for our youth and ensure that as they train and work within the NYS, they are able to build an infrastructure that will appreciate for a long time. When you look at the United States of America (USA), which is a good model that we are borrowing from, their NYS is a job creation programme for the youth. The USA Government has ensured that it facilitates that institution so that the young people are able to work within that programme. In the end, they work towards the betterment of their country. While we fight ethnicity, these young people will help to remind us that Kenya is one, this is our country and we should appreciate it. Today when you look at the cattle rustling regions, you will find out that in Baringo, Pokot, Turkana, Samburu and many other regions, the young people are wondering how to assist their communities. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if we have young people joining the NYS from those areas, these are the same young people who will inspire those who still believe that they have to engage in cattle rustling in order for their families to survive. They will bring in a positive way of thinking. This changes their lifestyles. When a young person is engaged in a positive manner, it changes his or her attitude. When I look at the Bill, it concerns counties, but at the same time, this Senate must ensure that this institution that will be formed remains under the national Government for financial support. 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."
