    "content": "The youth continue to be used and they suffer. Look at the population that we are talking about. For example, in my constituency, I am aware that I have not less than 110,000 youth today who are not sure of how they will earn a living tomorrow. They end up going for cheap casual jobs because they are not able to access jobs that would otherwise be better for them. That is why we, Members of Parliament, struggle sometimes to look for companies that fall under the category of youth because they are not there. When we tell them to open companies, they have to come to Nairobi, as the Mover mentioned. Some of them lack fare to come to Nairobi to look for clearance from the Higher Education Loans Board and other statutory requirements. If we waive these requirements, we will tell our youth that they can now come together, form a group and register a company as quickly as possible. They can even come to me, as a Member of Parliament, and I will give them construction business. That way, one day we will see big companies like the ones which are mushrooming in our country from China. We can only do this by building from scratch. Therefore, it is important that we do everything we can to help our youth."
