    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move: THAT, the National Youth Council (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 1 of 2023), be now read a Second Time. The proposed amendment is very short and straightforward. It consists of only four clauses, largely seeking to align the Act with Article 260 of the Constitution. The sections to be amended are 2, 5, and 6 of the National Youth Council Act No.10 of 2009. Sections 2 and 3(a) are set to align the parent Act to Article 260 of the Constitution in reference to the terms ‘Cabinet Secretary’ and ‘Principal Secretary.’ Section 3(d) sets to have nine youths nominated through a competitive process by the Cabinet Secretary responsible for Youth Affairs. This is to depoliticise the membership of the Council. The process begins at the county level, where the director of youth nominates youths from the ward level. Section 4 amends the principal Act by deleting the words ‘sub-location’ and replacing it with the word ‘ward’ in Section 6. This aligns the Act with the Constitution, which provides The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
