"content": "Secondly, I wish to thank Sen. Cherargei for bringing to the Floor a very important issue that is affecting our country regarding the way HELB management wants to treat the students who completed university education or training in various training institutions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is not a long time ago when we were told that defaulters should be locked up by the policemen. Now, here we are, we want to parade them in the newspapers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the stress that the youth in this country are being subjected to cannot be overemphasized. More importantly, those are the youth do not have any gainful employment. A few minutes ago, somebody talked about those graduates who go to look for employment. Recently in our Committee on Labour and Social Welfare we were struggling to ensure that those first graduates should not be charged when going to obtain clearance certificates from the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). We have not resolved that particular issue and we now want to parade them. Every day we read in newspapers that the debt level in this country is soaring higher and higher. Therefore, creating employment is becoming a challenge. The youth who complete university education using loans come from poor families. Just like one of 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."
