    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am the sponsor of the Bill but now, it is the property of Parliament. I fully agree with the reservations of the President. I just want to clarify that it was an oversight on our part. We needed to provide for those who are already working within a similar agency within Government to transition to the new agency, as well as the new authority being able to own the assets and liabilities. Speakers have agreed with the reservations. The Bill is not just about transforming the Employment Bureau to the Employment Authority, but it is actually creating an authority that will streamline the job market for young people, including creating job centres in every county so that if any national or county public entity is hiring people, they can hire through the Authority. We will have an online database which will provide for mandatory internships in public institutions for our young people in universities and colleges, and also facilitate international hiring. I agree with the Committee and thank it. They did an excellent job. It was just an oversight from this side and not from the President. The President was gracious enough to tell us to incorporate the transitional provisions so that no Kenyans are rendered jobless by a Bill that seeks to provide jobs for Kenyans."
