Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with the Chair on this amendment. It is quite necessary. As we go on, I would just like to note that these amendments are extremely progressive. There is one that we have just passed in Clause 13, which is a huge win for young people in this country. It says that any employer who engages at least ten university graduates as apprentices for a period of six to twelve months during any year of income shall be eligible for a tax rebate in the year subsequent to the year of such engagement. You remember that, that was a promise made by President Kenyatta and it will go a long way in helping issues of youth unemployment. I support the amendment."}
