    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Government, through the Ministry of Information, Communications and Technology, in partnership with academia, civil society and the private sector has set up a programme known as “Ajira Digital Programme” whose aim is to bridge the gap between skills available and skills demand. A major objective of the programme is to enable over one million youths annually to be engaged as digital freelance workers. In order to provide stability for the youth engaged in this programme, the Government has proposed that the youth registered in the programme pay a registration fee of Kshs10,000 for the next three years in lieu of income tax with effect from 1st January 2020. In this regard, I propose to amend the Income Tax Act in order to exempt registered members from regular taxation for the specified period."
