"content": " Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to matters of youth. The youth of this country are very important. It warms my heart anytime we legislate on matters that affect the youth. Therefore, I rise to support the amendments that have been brought by my senior and brother. It is always important that any law we make in this House or any existing law is aligned with the supreme law of the land, which is our Constitution of Kenya, 2010. What is done is to align this law with constitutional requirements. We are changing words so that wards are reflected. It is a noble thing. The only thing I had an issue with was putting a lot of power on the Cabinet Secretary to get those youths appointed from their office, probably from a given suggestion from the grassroots. However, it is also important that the Cabinet Secretary is involved so that we sharpen the skills of youths. At the same time and for coordination purposes, the activity must be housed in a certain ministry. I support this amendment. I hope our youth will get the voice they deserve in managing their activities at the council."
