    "content": "travel and benchmark on what is going on in the world. Nowadays, what works elsewhere can be copy-pasted and work in Kenya. We do not need to re-invent the wheel by starting new projects or starting fresh ones. We need to copy what China and a few other countries have done. They simply copy-paste what is working elsewhere, localise it and made it work for them. We, as a country, have technology and manpower. We have sons and daughters who have gone to school well and have the capacity to do some of those things without having to start from scratch. That is because somebody has done it somewhere. All we need to do is copy, adopt, localise it and get it to work for us. That way, we will reduce the unemployment we have today. The biggest challenge that all of us have as Members of Parliament (MPs) and as a country is to create employment opportunities for the youth. How else do we create those employment opportunities if we do not get to those other countries and learn what is it that they are doing differently? In a country like China, with a huge population of 1.5 billion people, they have reduced unemployment to almost below 10 per cent. If they have been able to do that with that kind of population, we should be able to do a lot better than we have. Ours is only 45 million. I have no doubt in my mind that we have the capacity, people and the intention. The President, the Deputy President and all the stakeholders in the country mean well to ensure we have created employment opportunities for our youth."
