    "content": " Thank you for allowing me to add my voice to this very important amendment by Hon. Joshua. I also congratulate him for coming up with this amendment. The amendment is quite brief. I support this amendment because Sub-section 3(b) seeks to appoint nine youths through a competitive process by the Cabinet Secretary responsible for youth affairs. Anything to do with our youth or young people is important because we know very well that young people are future leaders. Many of them are educated and yet, they sit at home. Their good certificates have not earned them much. Therefore, I support it. However, I only propose that nine youths are minimal compared to our country and the different regions and areas. Even so, I suggest that we consider different regions and gender balance so that we have the face of Kenya and representatives come from almost every region. As we do this, let us not handpick people but elect people who will add value, and their nomination will benefit the entire nation. Those nine people should represent the whole nation, not the regions so that we can build and grow our nation together. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support and congratulate Mhe. Joshua."
