    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 43, I seek leave of the House for the purpose of making a Statement regarding the celebration of international youth day scheduled for 10th August, 2018 in the National Assembly Chambers. Hon. Speaker, I wish to inform the House that I represent the National Assembly as a member of the Steering Committee set up by the Cabinet Secretary of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affaires to coordinate the commemoration of the International Youth Day. This is a day to mark the youth in our society and their role in nation building. Hon. Speaker, the theme of this year fete is “Save Spaces for Youth”. This theme resonates well with the Government’s commitment to ensure that the youth are accorded a platform to engage in meaningful discussion with stakeholders so as to better its service delivery to the youth. It is worth to note that the youth need to be engaged in the Big Four discussion so as to ensure that the Government policies are inclusive to the youth who constitute a big chunk of the population. This will offer an opportunity for both sides and others to engage and develop a clear roadmap towards the realisation of a youth friendly society. Hon. Speaker, it is for this reason that I seek for your indulgence to make an appeal to Members of this House to sponsor, at least, two youths – a male and a female – from each constituency across the country, to come and celebrate the aforesaid event to be held on 10th August, 2018 at the National Assembly Chambers. Finally, Hon. Members, let me thank you for your commitment towards ensuring that the International Youth Day is not only a success, but also the start of a journey towards making Kenya a youth-friendly society."
