First of all, I have dropped my amendment. I interacted with the Committee and we discussed this at length. The National Youth Employment Authority will be very well placed to serve all Kenyans. It will be bad if a Kenyan of 36 years will be denied service. So, throughout the Bill, we have agreed to open up the Authority to Kenyans of all ages; even if you do that, majority of those who are unemployed in this country are the youth anyway. We have agreed with the Committee and so, I will be supporting their amendments. However, I still have my own but on this one, I support the Committee’s amendments."}
