way. For many years, we have not had any sustainable legislation on youth employment. We have so much human resource in this country, but it has not been captured in any database. Many of the youth have been paying anything they can afford to get employment. Unemployment has complicated the issue of corruption in this country because there are no proper ways of employing our youth. Many youth have been trying to bribe their way into employment.

the affected youth are from the ASAL areas, especially those in the hard to reach parts of this country. The youth in Nairobi and other cities have an advantage because they can access newspapers, watch television and access the internet as they look for jobs. However, many youth in Isiolo, Marsabit and Moyale – collectively referred to as the Upper Eastern region – and those in the North Eastern region, Pokot and Turkana counties, have not had opportunities. Quite a number of our youth from those areas have also gone to school. They have got university education and have acquired ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also support this Bill because the proposed authority will keep a record of all the unemployment youth across country. Upon pressing a button, one will know where our youth are and what technical skills they possess. This country has been under threat due to lack of employment for the youth. We currently have a lot of issues, including radicalization of the youth. This has been attributed to the fact that many of our youth who have technical skills have not been able to get employment. Therefore, they end up looking for anything to do so ...

The National Youth Employment Bill will give Kenyan youth equal opportunities in terms of getting jobs. It will help in ensuring that some of the technical skills that we have in this country are well captured. It will also help to identify areas where we need to put more effort in terms of training, to ensure that youth human resource development is captured. Many youth in this country have been exploited because more often than not, they are given jobs which do not match their training background simply because we do not have a legislation of this nature. Therefore, in ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the report by the Budget and Appropriations Committee of which I am a member. As I support this Report, I want to say that this Committee had intensive, participatory and interactive sessions with the chairpersons of different committees. During this particular time, the chairpersons and representatives of Departmental Committees were interrogated on the presentation that they did from different Ministries and they were able to give justification and support for their decisions. I would also want to say that Members also had an opportunity---

Hon. Deputy Speaker, we had meetings with chairpersons of different Departmental Committees and Members of Parliament who raised pertinent issues, for example, the amount of money allocated to the Ministries. During this particular time, I remember there were budgetary issues that were raised concerning dams, boreholes and water pans allocated to the ASAL areas. Hon. Members stated that some of the monies that were allocated through different regional authorities were not channeled towards the needs of the community. I remember some of the projects that were to be initiated in my county Isiolo could not be realized because they were ...

Thank you, hon Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me commend, appreciate and support the President‟s Speech to Kenyans. I want to speak to the issue of security. I thank the President for taking the bold move of appointing hon. Nkaissery to head the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. It is already bearing a lot of fruits. We have curbed external security threats in terms of terror attacks and the issue of Al Shabaab . One thing I expected the President to talk about is the internal conflict we have in Kenya. If it ...
