    "content": "employment. This Bill will now make it mandatory that each and every public entity in this country that is using taxpayers’ money provides internship and attachment opportunities for all the young people in colleges and institutions of higher learning. We have more than 250 public institutions in this country and, if every institution took just 50 people every six months, we would be targeting more than 10,000 young people having the basic work place ethics, knowing what it means to go to work, knowing what it means to be employed and preparing for the job market. This Bill, which is landmark legislation, will ensure that in every part of this country, there is going to be a job centre. This means that when a young person has whatever qualifications; whether formal or informal, wherever they are, they do not have to come to Nairobi to look for jobs. They do not have to look for newspapers or advertisement to look for jobs. Wherever they are, they will be served. We hope to use Huduma Centres and later move to the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) offices so that once information is brought there, it gets into a national database and any entity that wants to hire must first look at that database. So, for you to get a job in Kenya, if this is implemented well and we want to make sure it is implemented, you do not get a job because of who you know. You do not get a job because of your tribe. You will get a job because of merit."
