    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I seek your indulgence. I was busy serving Kenyans. I seek to present the following Petition. This is a Petition to the Senate concerning clearance requirement by the public service boards on application for jobs in Kenya. We, the undersigned citizens of Kenya and in particular the youth of Kenya, draw the attention of the house to the following- (1) THAT, unemployment in Kenya is one of the biggest challenges facing youths which is estimated to have risen up to 35 per cent. Unemployment rates in Kenya refer to the number of persons who are unemployed as a percentage of the total number of employed and unemployed persons aged 15 years and above. (2) THAT, education is regularly considered a key element for better employment opportunities and Kenya has made progress in recent years with enrolment numbers for tertiary, technical and universities increasing drastically. (3) THAT, efforts to seek jobs are rendered difficult due to the various clearances by many applicants that the youth have to fulfill before getting the job. (4) THAT, apart from academic certificates, parastatals and county employers require the applicants to provide clearances before getting jobs. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
