    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Statement by the super Senator of Nairobi, Sen. Sakaja, who is also the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, but also really known in this country for standing up for the youth. When you look at this Statement, it is quite obvious that those who are in the KCAA, as well as the county governments, either seem to lack creativity in their thinking or they are stuck in the dark ages. They do not seem to have moved along with technology and realize that this is where the world is heading. So, when you see them come up with these exorbitant fees, an amount of Kshs1 million; how many Kenyans have Kshs1 million? We just had the census results come out a few weeks ago and we saw that the youth are about 66 per cent in this country. We also know that there is a very high rate of unemployment in this country. So, when you have the youth, generally, who are trying to make a living and especially right now as we are coming up to the wedding season, birthdays, and Christmas holidays season, this is something that should make a lot of sense. However, when you charge them Kshs11, 000 per day to do this sort of thing on 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."
