    "content": "Thank you Madam Speaker for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this report on the Petition. I support this report. I am a Member of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and we were actually impressed when the petitioners appeared before the Committee. The petitioners were young Kenyan Citizens. We even had stakeholders like KRA, DCI, EACC and HELB who came on board. It was a good thing for all these stakeholders to come on board because youth unemployment is an issue of great concern in this country. Kenya ranks high in East Africa on the Human Development Index (HDI) with regards to youth unemployment. It is an issue that really concerns us, as a nation. There were good thoughts from the stakeholders who came. They were also concerned that the youth need to be helped. The conversation went on very well. Mr. Speaker, in the event of the conversation, it also came out that some Members of the Committee were not aware that the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) gives loans to Technical and Vocation Education and Training (TVET) students. For TVET the Government gives them loans and pocket money."
