    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, this amendment is not enough. We still need to look at other laws that I have spoken of, like the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act and its regulations, to create more space for youth to participate in the Government sector. Looking at the challenges we face, our youth are seeking employment abroad through recruitment agencies which abandon them. That is because they are vulnerable. They are even using their little savings. Their parents are losing money. They are selling their land to secure space for those youths. Can we use our laws to accommodate our youth? Hon. Temporary Speaker, lastly, we need to be sensitive on these issues. We are worried about other issues we looked into and whether they can be abused. What is the purpose of regulations? It is the duty of the Ministry to establish regulations and ensure this Bill is operationalised. I have said much. Let me allow time for my colleagues to contribute. I support the National Construction Authority (Amendment) Bill without further amendments to it so that it can be executed and allow our youths, women and people with disabilities to register for free and participate. Let the National Construction Authority (NCA) regulate them now because it is their duty. Thank you very much."
