    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this system has, therefore, allowed huge chunks of land to remain unutilized. So, many young people remain without any useful engagements. It is also worth noting that the education system that we have is such that every year after the release of the KCPE results, about 50 per cent of young people do not continue with their education due to the limited facilities. After Form Four, the same story is repeated. We have about 60 or 70 per cent who do not access tertiary college or university education. Our challenge must, therefore, be to ask ourselves what happens to the huge chunk that does not move to the next level. These young people easily join these groups which are not beneficial to our society. It is must also be noted the HIV/AIDS scourge that has hit this country badly has also affected this particular group. If you look at the prevalence rates, especially in the late 1990s and early 2000, it was very high to the extent that the number of orphaned children was very high. Without any hope and anybody to take care of them, they become ready soldiers to be used in such ventures."
