    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to support this amendment Bill. This is a straightforward Bill that does not require us to talk too much. I have listened very keenly to hear or understand the mischief that the amendment Bill seeks to address, and I have gleaned what you are trying to do from a political perspective. We are giving the Cabinet Secretary greater powers. I am not opposed to that because we have not fully entrenched the issue of public participation. Otherwise, we should empower the youth to elect themselves even though it is onerous, difficult and challenging. However, that is how we nurture their leadership skills and give them a chance to learn how to compete and participate in leadership issues. Past processes may have been wrought with challenges. Therefore, I have no problem as long as we are talking about an open and competitive process. I support the Bill."
