Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. He has no right to protest because he came after me, although he is a great friend of mine. I appreciate that he is always in Parliament to contribute to debate. From the outset, I support the Bill. It is a good one. I will always support anything that goes towards supporting our youth. It is very expensive for young people to join the construction industry. To conduct a search for a business name and register a business costs Kshs200 and Ksh600, respectively. If you want to register with the National Construction Authority (NCA), ...

models that will encourage young people to join the industry. We train very many young people at the technical and vocational education and training institutions, but they are discouraged. When they come out of training, there are no jobs for them. All the big construction works are being undertaken by the Chinese. We have pushed out local people and given all jobs to the Chinese. We appropriate funds, but our people cannot benefit from the same. It has been said that 30 per cent to 40 per cent of contracts should be set aside for locals, but that has not ...

That is what I wanted to say, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to tell Hon. Sankok that I am a product of mama mboga . She used to make a lot of money. When she was working, she used to earn more money than what I earn in Parliament today. We were a family of nine children and she did her work and maybe even much better than some of us here. Coming back to the Bill, I want to encourage Members to support the youth through the NG-CDF, which is a great kitty. It has been of much ...

As a young person, I built the company that I use today from a small one to an award- winning company. I won an award as the third best performing contractor in Kenya in 2007. That is a good thing. I want to encourage our young people wherever they are, do not agree to be called “hustlers.” Work hard. I know you can achieve whatever I have achieved.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, from the outset, I want to congratulate Hon. Washiali for coming up with this Bill. You have done a great job during this time when we are about to go home. I remember that you and I had a discussion and you told me that you are not interested in coming back to Parliament. With this kind of contribution, we need people like you in this Parliament. I know you gave me the reasons, but having thought about them, they are not valid. I urge and plead with you to come back.
