    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Senate and this august House this afternoon. As you know, this has taken too long and I think it is high time we made a closure to it so that our young people, wherever they are, are able to access procurement opportunities all over the country. Even as I do that, I want to request the offices of the Registrar of Companies, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and other offices concerned with ensuring that the young people are able to get the necessary documents of doing business, to move with speed to devolve their services so that people do not have to move from Siaya and Ugenya, where I come from, to Nairobi to register companies. People do not have to come from Kwale and North Eastern to Nairobi to register companies. These services should be taken to where they are for them to benefit from these services. I also want to call upon the Government entities, organs and institutions concerned to ensure that they put aside the 30 per cent as we decide today for the young people; not just in talking but also in deed. I, therefore, support and urge the whole House to support this so that we move on with helping our young people. Thank you so much."
