    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this amendment. First of all, I must say that the amendment has come at a very good time. It is timely. It is very important for the public to get annual reports on the age, county and gender status of the people who are employed. The issue is timely because at the moment, we are engaged in the debate of the BBI. This amendment tackles one of the agendas or the nine-point agenda that came as a result of the handshake. The issue of inclusivity was No.3 in the nine-point agenda. As a matter of fact, they were trying to change the Constitution through the BBI and this report will at least assist in getting to know how people are employed. Currently, what is going on in the country is not good and we have to call a spade a spade. We have two main communities that are being employed. They are mainly from Central and the Rift Valley. I think once we get this report annually, it will assist the country to know the people who are being employed. Apart from encouraging employment for the youths and women, I support the amendment, but also propose that we also include information on the status of the people who are being employed, whether they are people with disabilities or not. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
