    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Petition. It is sad that we put so many obstacles in the path of our youth. For example, we demand for work experience of 15 years from them. We also require them to obtain certificates of good conduct, EACC certificate, KRA compliance and HELB clearance and so forth. Unemployment for the educated youth in this country is alarming. We, as a country, are sitting on a time bomb. Our youth are so frustrated. When we demand a lot from them, it hurts them more. As I support this Petition, we must make every effort in this House to reduce the demands that organizations ask from them before they are employed. The Government mooted attachment and internship programmes for them in various Ministries. We want to encourage our county governments to engage them on paid internship programmes for six months. Thereafter, they can start up their own businesses. 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."
