    "content": "Some countries have started talent academies. They should be supported and funded properly through the county governments so that those with talents can advance them there. We have the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives which, most of the time, is given a raw deal when we make the Budget. It is not given enough money to start industries which can take in those youths so that they can develop their talents there. We are a country that exports a lot of materials or goods in their raw form to foreign countries. When you follow those products, most of which are agricultural products to the countries they are exported to, they add little value to the youth who are not able to get white collar jobs in countries like Kenya, where we do not have enough jobs for our young people and, at the end of the day, the same products come to us in a different form. If it is tea, it is brought packed in a different name like KETEPA and is very expensive. If we develop the industries in our country like the Export Processing Zones (EPZs) and live up to the standards and once they are established, they have to be actualized--- Sometimes, we say it on paper and, at the end of the day, you do not see the results of the same. Once we develop this, we shall accommodate or assimilate many youths who are already walking in the streets of this country and trotting from office to office looking for jobs in the private sector and Government offices. If you go to offices of most Members of Parliament here, you will find heaps of applications for jobs from youth who want us to help them. Others are in soft copies. You will find a bunch of them waiting for jobs, but we cannot get those jobs in those offices in this country now. We have to develop industries which will employ the youth so that we can reduce the level of unemployment in our country."
