"content": " Hon. Speaker, I want to comment on the Petition concerning youth employment vis-à-vis the long list of requirements and actually put it that it is not a problem for the youth to raise those documents. The documents that are listed include an identity card, a Certificate of Good Conduct, a Kenya Revenue Authority Tax Compliance Certificate and other things that identify who you are employing as an organisation. I wanted to mention that the petition that is before the House about youth employment should be before the Treasury. You notice that immediately we passed the Budget, a circular came from the Treasury saying that they were freezing employment for the next two or three years yet in the Budget that we have passed, many departments had put provisions for youth employment. It looks like the Treasury has veto powers it uses to overrule the National Assembly, which has passed the Budget. We need a provision for addressing that kind of danger with regard to the youth when it comes to employment. It is the National Treasury. When the Government is not spending, the economy is paralysed. I do not know who does economics for them. That is where the problem is. I think it is a good Petition. It should open other issues to be discussed."
