    "content": "THAT, aware that Seventy-five per cent of Kenya’s population is under 35 years of age and that, overall unemployment among youth is at 55 percent; cognisant of the Government’s plan in the Big Four Agenda aimed at creating 1.3 million manufacturing jobs by 2022; appreciating that Article 260 of the Constitution of Kenya and the Public Finance Management Act (National Government Affirmative Action Fund) Regulations, 2016 supports the affirmative action for the youth; aware that in the Appropriation Act, 2018, youth empowerment programme was only allocated a total sum of Kshs.7,352,220,651; this House urges that the Government declares youth unemployment as a national disaster and further establishes a National Youth Fund of at least 5 percent of the national revenue collected each year to be administered by an Authority or Commission for purpose of youth empowerment and employment."
