    "content": "Each one of us has talked about jobs for our youth, but this Budget has not addressed that issue adequately. How do you create jobs? I hope the Budget and Appropriations Committee and other Committees will acquaint themselves with countries, for example, Hong Kong that have created 100 per cent jobs. That is a small country of 7.5 million people but it has 100 per cent employment. Take an example of Singapore, which is a small country of 1.5 million people. It has 100 per cent employment. Malaysia, which has a population of 23 million, which is half of our population, has created jobs through industrialization and tourism to have 95 per cent employment. What have they done? They have allocated money to where you can have jobs. For example, if you were to pump money to produce fertilizer for this country, about 30 or 40 million bags, that would create a million jobs. If you were to pump money to produce our coffee instead of importing mitumba for Kshs50 billion or Kshs60 billion a year; if you were to pump that money to construct one textile mill in each of the former provinces, we would create jobs in excess of 1 million. We must now ask our agencies to make proposals for budgetary purposes and they must know how many jobs they are going to create. Like I said, in Malaysia, which is a small country, there are no attractive tourism resources---"
