A youth is asked to get a CRB clearance certificate. When I was looking for this job, I was asked to bring so many documents. I had some debts which I had not cleared. So, I wondered why I needed to be cleared of these debts before I could become a Member of Parliament. Some of these requirements are unnecessary. Before most youths get jobs, they cannot begin to pay HELB loans. In a nut shell, we are asking for so many things from the youths before they get job opportunities. Apart from just waiving the fees, we need to find a way in which we can do away with some of the requirements. Why do you want a KRA clearance for somebody who has graduated from the university? Where has he been earning? I support the Motion, but we need to ensure that we identify opportunities and areas in which we can strengthen the private sector for our youths to get job opportunities."}
