    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill and appreciate Hon. Naisula for bringing it at the right time. We see the young people in this country in the streets, which is very sad. We saw the doctors and the JSS intern teachers. We started the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in this country. The ones who are supposed to lay the foundation are on the streets. As a country, we have to question ourselves. We have to ask what the real issue is. I have looked at the memorandum of objects and reasons of this Bill, and I appreciate that we have borrowed so much from Article 10 of the Constitution on National Values and Principles of Governance. When we talk about interns in the country, it is about fairness or equity because it is within that Article. We hope that this Bill has a framework that will ensure that every child in this country works in the Government. I worked in the Public Service a few years ago. The most unfortunate thing is that many people are about to retire there. However, we did not take internship seriously to ensure that we trained young people to come in and take over what they are supposed to do for the country. In some sectors and dockets within the Public Service, roughly 38 senior officers have now retired. You can imagine that it is the young people who are supposed to take over. Who has mentored them? How do they take over? This is the reason why, sometimes, you feel very disappointed with the Public Service. Why is it that we do not have a good Public Service and yet, we have the best human resource in terms of skills? We have people who can do good The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
