    "content": "THAT, aware that seventy-five percent of Kenya’s population is under the age of thirty-five years and that, the overall unemployment among the youth is at fifty-five percent; further aware that over 800,000 graduates from Universities, Colleges, Technical Institutes, Vocational Centres and other tertiary institutions join the job market annually with only approximately 70,000being absorbed into the formal labour force market; concerned that the high rate of unemployment in Kenya, particularly among the youth remains a major challenge; recognising that Article 55 of the Constitution requires the state to take measures to ensure that the youth gain access to relevant education, training and employment; noting that the mandatory retirement age for public servants is set at sixty (60) years; this House urges the Government to review the mandatory retirement age in the public service from the current sixty to fifty years to among other things, create opportunities for the employment of the youth."
