Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. First and foremost, I congratulate Hon. Keter for this amendment to the Employment Act. The Employment Act is specifically to provide regulations on matters of employment. It also provides for the fundamental rights of employees. It cuts across the entire chain, starting from the time of entry, during the work and during exit. When you look at Clause 9 of the Bill, one of the fundamental issues is about the documents that are required before you are employed. You are aware that in this country, if you want to ...

we have a Ministry that is specifically in charge of youth affairs. There was a Bill by Hon. Sakaja that I seconded. That Bill sought the development of a database of youth in the country. The institutions responsible would be focussing on dealing with issues that would help the youths to acquire employment. We are told that the GDP of this country has reduced drastically.

First, I would like to quote the words of the former late President Nelson Mandela on matters education.

purposes of free, fair and credible elections. As we wait for the report, how I wish that the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) is also invited to tell the country what the percentage coverage of 3G is. I am saying this because the coverage was about 70 per cent or so last time during the general election. In terms of preparedness because the law is clear on transmission of the results, the CAK also needs to tell Kenyans the extent of 3G coverage. Lastly is on the aspect of funding.

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I was just wondering while listening to the Leader of the Minority Party. He is deleting the words, “advise the Minister” and substituting with the general words, “advise the national and county governments”. We normally have a lot of blame games. This is because this is a generality. When we talk of the national Government, will you be referring to the President? I thought it should be the Minister responsible for that particular docket. When it comes to the issues of the county governments, it should be the County Executive Committee Member who is specific for ...
