    "content": "Yes, I am persuaded by the five minutes as you had proposed. Employment of the youth in this country has been a very big problem. As leadership, right from us as Members of Parliament (MPs) and the Government, need to look for a way for the youth to get employment. The database, as Members have contributed, is very important. We should look for a way so that our youth are not troubled. I want to persuade my colleagues in this House that our youth should get used to those payments. They should also struggle. We do not just want to propose that everything will be free for our youth. We come from different families. Many come from poor families. But they should also get used to paying. It is only one thing the Government requires them to pay. It is only one certificate from the police that is paid for. Others are free. There is no payment for the ones from the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). It is only the certificate of good conduct where youths are supposed to pay for. They have been paying. There is no youth who has complained that he or she cannot raise Kshs1,500 to pay for that certificate. The families we are talking about as being poor are ours. We know they can slowly pay for those certificates. I stand to support the Motion. It is very good. I encourage our youth to struggle. For the Higher Education Loans Boards (HELB) certificate, you can do without it for 10 to 15 years until you get a job. It is not a must you pay when you are not employed. Even Members should consider this country requires revenue."
