Getting a clearance certificate from the DCIO is already assuming that an individual has committed an offence. The same applies to getting a clearance from EACC. If these documents are mandatory or prerequisite for youths to be employed, then we should avail them free of charge. The first step we, as a country, should take is to issue these certificates to our youth when they are graduating or when they are being admitted to universities. However, asking youths to pay Kshs1,050 to get a certificate from the DCIO, the CRB the EACC and HELB clearance is really overburdening them."}
