    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. My contribution to the Bill is this: We wish to dispense of this matter by considering the amendments by the Senate. This House has a residual power to make laws, amend or even repeal them. As young parliamentarians, we are of the opinion that time has gone and the earlier we start the implementation of the provisions of the amendments, the better for young Kenyans. The youth of this country bear the burden of the entire economic crisis that we face in our daily lives. We would wish to cushion them by ensuring that there are provisions within the law that ensure that matters affecting the youth are properly followed up. A report is given and what is justly theirs is reserved for them. As such, these amendments are going to ensure that the county governments, State corporations and every department that is in charge of procurement ensures that 30 per cent is given to the youth of this country; not just on paper but by action. I would like to support that we consider the Senate amendments. At the end of the day, should we find something necessary for this House to look at a future date, we can give it consideration. Thank you."
