    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this amendment. You realise that it is very important for our nation to support the youth across all our constituencies in the process of honing their leadership skills. Meritocracy is extremely important regarding this matter. For it to be enhanced or enforced at the grassroots levels, we have to ensure that we do not place financial burdens on the youth. If we do not ensure that county youth directors make free and fair competence-based appointments and leave it as it is at the moment under the Act, we risk placing a financial burden on the youth when they vie for those positions. Therefore, the process will be rigged from the word go. This amendment Bill aims to ensure that the process of appointing youths to those positions is not rigged from the word go. We need to ensure that youth leadership at the grassroots is free of politics. That is why this amendment Bill will ensure that we increase or enhance transparency and, at the same time, uphold merit. I urge the House to look at this amendment Bill and its highlighted merits. I beg to second."
