    "content": "Another function of the Authority will be to maintain and publish online an up-to-date database of all the youth seeking employment. I have already mentioned that. The tasks and functions of the Authority total to 16. Another very important thing will be to advise both the national and county governments on any policy matter touching on employment of the youth. I sit in the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare; we discussed this Bill very thoroughly last year. One of the things that impressed us so much was that for the first time in 50 years of the existence of an independent Kenya, we will have an authority that will be fully dedicated to advising the Government. As things are now, it is as if we are shooting in the dark. We think the Youth Enterprise Development Fund will work, we try it. We think another thing will work, we try it. Many times, these are not calculated moves. They are not completely well calculated and strategic moves. They are just attempts to solve one of the biggest problems in this country. Now that we will have an Authority dedicated to full time research all over the world on what we can do on youth unemployment, and advising the authorities on the same, I believe we will start moving in the right direction."
