    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank you for giving me this time to contribute. I congratulate Hon. Faith Wairimu who has brought the Motion on issues about the youth. I support the Motion on waiving of charges and establishment of employment database so that our youth can attain what is needed when looking for jobs. I think over 50 per cent of the people in this country are youth. We need to consider the youth who have gone to school but have not been successful in getting jobs because they do not have enough money. On the issue of employment, I think we have to combine a lot of factors in it. When we talk of Government giving opportunities to the youth, it is known that 30 per cent of tenders for projects should go to the youth. We have to combine some of these factors so that we can waive the fees charged in the registration of business names or companies. That way, we will help the youth get contracts. Lastly, I would like to propose that for us to assist the youth and get a clear database, we should do it from the constituency level. If we do that, we will be able to tell the exact number of youth who are seeking employment. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to support the Motion."
