    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill. Actually, the biggest challenge that the Government has is unemployment. There are many graduates who are not employed. That is why personally I support the Big Four Agenda of His Excellency the President, particularly the manufacturing industry. That is why the Government is very keen on the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), which is indeed very key. It is a catalyst and an enabler for the socio-economic development of our country. At the same time, they train skilled personnel. These include plumbers, masons and carpenters, just to mention a few. Parenting and adoption of children is very important. The Government must give policy directions and, as Parliament, we should at all times ensure that we support objective policies which enhance creation of employment, particularly in terms of supporting innovation through provision of ICT infrastructure, for purposes of digital penetration of our society, just to mention but a few. We must go on record that even the young people who are looking for employment are paying statutory deductions. However, since we are empowered by the Constitution on Articles 95 and 96, we must have Government incentives that will give hope to young people graduating from TVETs and other institutions of higher learning, including universities."
