Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this very important Bill which touches on the allocation of revenue to our counties. The Bill before us states the amount that the National Treasury has allocated to counties as Kshs198 billion.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I read the Motion as I put it to the House:- THAT, aware that the level of unemployment among youths in Kenya is over 70 per cent and rising; concerned that the formal Sector is unable to generate sufficient formal employment for college graduates, resulting in far reaching ramifications to the economy and society across all counties in Kenya; noting that the youths are unable to venture into private enterprises because of lack of access to affordable credit; the Senate urges the Government to take urgent and immediate steps to ensure legislation is enacted to ...
