    "content": "We have amended Clause 9 just to make sure that the functions of the Authority are very clear. Even given our earlier amendments, the Authority will be advising on the formulation of policies. It will advise on policy matters concerning employment. Then it will create a database where any young person in any part of this country who is looking for a job can apply and give their names. So, any entity that wants to hire them can get the names online. That applies even to the private sector. It talks about creating opportunities for internships for our young people in colleges and universities so that they can go for mandatory internships within Government entities. It provides for issues of employment of Kenyans internationally. We have seen the problems that many Kenyans are getting especially in the Middle East where unscrupulous employment entities have been taking people. Now it is going to be Government to Government. We are going to have commercial and employment attaches throughout the world to look for employment. So, it is really harmonising the functions of this Authority to make sure that we have people both in the formal and the informal sector. So, if you want to look for a cobbler or mason in any part of this country, you go online and get a database and get that person a job."
