• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. In support of this Bill, I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating Hon. Sakaja for helping us to move from mere rhetoric to actualising the need to bring our young people into the mainstream development agenda of this country. A lot has been said in the talk about creating job opportunities for our young people, but this Bill which seeks to establish a Youth Employment Authority, is what will get us to that vision which is held by both young people and the leadership of this country. When you look at the object of ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like us to critically look into the issue of job advertisements. Sometimes job advertisements are placed in the daily newspapers. Many of our young people living in the grassroots do not access newspapers. In Clause (9)(d), the Bill calls for circulation of job advertisements at very low levels. I wish Hon. Sakaja could look at other ways of circulation of job advertisements, in addition to the social media or the internet. We have young people who have no access to this particular medium. We can ensure that we pin job advertisements at notice boards of ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Another important aspect of this Bill is provision for the functions of the authority. The authority will play a critical role in facilitating and counselling the youths. It thus creates an opportunity for us to rehabilitate and bring them back to the right path towards nation building.

• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We are faced with the serious crisis of radicalization of our young people. This is caused by the high level of unemployment. Statistics show that the unemployment rate in this country stands at 40 per cent. Unemployment is one of the major causes of insecurity in this country. The people involved in acts of insecurity are our young people. They are recruited into crime through radicalization processes because of lack of employment. Therefore, this Bill will take us in the right direction in terms of engaging our young people in gainful activities. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: It is also important for us to note that the authority will ensure proper matching of skills taught at institutions of higher learning with the job market requirements. This will in turn ensure that we retain our youths within the Kenyan job market. We have seen many frustrated young people seek what may be called ‘greener pastures’ in foreign countries, only for them to end up in disastrous situations. We have seen people suffer in the Middle East after running away from this country due to lack of job opportunities. We need to change the situation. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: A lot of money is being channelled through the National Treasury, targeting our young people. We have Uwezo Fund and the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, but the truth of the matter is that the people who are benefiting from these Funds are very few. Again, it is because of lack of information and capacity amongst our youth that they do not take advantage of the opportunities provided to them by the Government. The proposed authority will ensure proper dissemination of information, so that our youth can take advantage of the opportunities created for them. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Again, of critical importance is that the implementation of this Bill needs to be devolved to the lowest level of governance to ensure that the youth at the grassroots benefit from the opportunities that will be created. I am happy to see in Clause 8 provision for the headquarters to be based in Nairobi, but the authority must take deliberate action. I propose that we include an express provision for the proposed authority to have offices in all the counties. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will pick up from where I left last evening. I just want to remind the House that this is a special Motion as Members can read from the Order Paper. As the Select Committee on Implementation, the Members should take note that we play a very critical role of forming a link between the Executive arm of the Government and the Legislative arm of the Government. That is why I am here to appraise the House on the extent to which my Committee has pushed for the implementation of the resolutions of the National Assembly ... view
