Com. Ibrahim Lethome Okay. Now let us hear you. And please register your memorandum over there. Speak to the
microphone.
Gideon Karuiki: Okay I am going to (Inaudible) on the issues pertaining to the youth. The first point is (Inaudible) where
most youth get help from e.g drugs and sexual abuse in rehabilitation centers should be established, promoted, and funded by
the Government to give the state they undergo but merely depending on unstable donors.
The second is young up coming trader should not be subjected to heavy taxation unform of trade license and market fees by
country councils, at least young hawkers should also enjoy protection from being harassed by the council askaris.
Institutions of higher learning e.g. colleges and (Inaudible) should be established in rural areas with the help of the Government.
This would ensure more youth further their education at rather law fees. Education bursaries should be effectively utilized in
helping the less privileged bright student realize their dreams. Entertainment industries in which many youth like things should be
given power to protect it active from being exploited.
The industry should also enjoy funds from the Government to make young talented youths have a way towards their goals. Yet
artist and groups should be given equal access to the public mass media to promote their talent e.g. young musicians should be
broadcasted more than other foreign musicians to promote local talent through familiarization and advertisement. Young club
and youth clubs and church clubs in rural areas should be sponsored to ensure their growth, that reducing unemployment and
crimes and enhancing rural development.
Youth should be given equal opportunities in the Government at least among the elected or nominated MPs. There should be a
young minister who represents young people. So youth to have vacancies in the job market. No employees should be allowed
to (Inaudible) the years beyond the stated retirement date. Still no one should hold more than one post.
Com. Ibrahim Lethome Please summarize.
