    "content": "long time, even when we were in university, many people spent a lot of time doing digital work. You would take term papers for students in America, write them and they would pay you on your PayPal account. I am very happy. For a long time, the Government did not recognise that this is an area through which we can engage our young people. The Government recognising the Ajira Digital Programme, that online space is a space that young people can work and earn money without having to come out here, set up offices or tarmac for years after graduating or carry jerry cans and say, “I graduated and now I am washing cars in town”, is a good thing. Young people can engage their minds on more useful things yet when they are on social media, they do nothing but churn out insults and abuse leaders, create photo shops and do funny things. This is a useful programme. I would like to agree with some of the stakeholders who submitted to the Committee that the Kshs10,000 per annum for registration - you have to register with Kshs10,000 for you to qualify for the exemption - may be too much for some people, but it may be too little for others. I want to agree with some stakeholders who proposed that every person should be rated at their level and taxed accordingly. The Government might end up raising more money than if they made a flat rate of Kshs10,000. Many young people involved in the Ajira Digital Programme might not raise the Kshs10,000. It might be that you are making it easier, but making it more difficult at the same time."
