    "content": "I support the Motion because we need a centralised database whereby a job seeker can get all the required documents at the same place. We are in the digital world and I expect the ministries concerned and the Public Service Commission (PSC) to have a database of all the people who have left school, who are qualified and need jobs. They can transmit this information to potential employers, be they private or public. They can resend the same information. Therefore, the job seeker will just place his or her application. The employer can then open the database and get all the documents from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB). Some job seekers come to Nairobi and spend about three days looking for these offices in Nairobi to get the information. More so, the same offices are very corrupt. The school leaver leaves the village and comes to Nairobi with money for transport for just a day or two. He or she will find that in order to get the information or data which is required to take to the employer, he or she will have to cough some money in one way or the other. This becomes very clumsy. You find that job seekers despair, have nowhere to go and most of them turn to us as their leaders and Members of Parliament. They tell us that they have qualifications for such and such a job, but they cannot access it because of the bottlenecks and the bureaucracy.
