One of the things or reasons I am very happy about this Bill, even as I was looking through it, is that a lot of what is proposed here was started by some of us informally. By the age of 30, I had already founded an organization and was employing several young people. By the age of 35, I was already employing people in the region and in Africa. I discovered and learnt that there are very many opportunities but the challenge is that people do not have linkages to information.

I remember one of the first trips I made out of the country was to the United States of America. All I was required to do was to write a paper and then I got everything funded. I did not need to know anyone. All I needed was to write a paper on the issue of mainstreaming human rights and women, which I already knew. I got an air ticket, accommodation in a five star hotel in the US, all my meals were paid and I paid per diem. All this is in the internet but because we are not ...

I would also like to say, in light of the issue of radicalisation, that this is an answer. I had indicated at some point that even in my own constituency, we found one young man who had been radicalised by the Al-Shaabab. He was given Kshs500,000 to recruit people in Mbita.

I encourage other Members to bring similar Bills that would move this country forward. Thank ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to raise an issue which is the same as Hon. Jakoyo’s, but is seeking a different direction from the Chairman. Since we are living in a digital era, I was not here but I listened to Hon. Mbadi. He raised the same issue that I raised last week. As I was listening to you when I was coming here, I noticed that you were in a hurry, which is not a bad thing. However, when we are raising serious issues, I would want to seek your patience, so that you listen to ...
