    "content": ". This will enable them to register their complaints with the authorities and seek compensation from the county government. In this country, we have many youths who are jobless. Today the youth are about 60 per cent of the population, and most of them are jobless. If you go to any town in the country, you will find young women and men standing at every bus stop doing nothing. I think this Bill should expound and make sure that there are designated areas in every town where young people with proper funding from the county governments can do some businesses using the money advanced to county governments. County governments should allocate some money to the youth for that purpose. This is a paltry figure. They should not tell us that they are constructing roads yet they are just dumping soil in every corner of the county, while we know where the money ends. They should stop constructing roads and address the issue of unemployment among the youth. They should also ensure that they have drugs in the hospitals. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we want both the county governments and the national Government to find ways of addressing the problem of unemployment among the youth. By so doing, the youth will contribute to the economy of this country. I support this Bill, and hope that it will bring change to the lives of our many hardworking deserving Kenyans who have been harassed through and through. I support."
