    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I would like to use this chance to congratulate Hon. Lesuuda for bringing this timely Bill. Of late, we have seen so many interns in the streets demonstrating - from medical interns to the teachers in JSS. Maybe, there are others on the way. This internship business should be put in a legal framework so that it is well structured. That way, we will not see strikes by the interns. Internship is supposed to be a launching pad for someone with a career. It is very clear that when you are an intern, you are not a full-time employee, but learning while on the job. One is trying to put what they obtained in a classroom in theory into practice. It is very clear that the internship business has been misunderstood to the extent that the workload for those who go for internships is not very clear. Some are given full-time duties and the compensation is not commensurate with the duties that they perform. What happens? They end up in the streets demonstrating because they feel they are being misused. They feel their rights are violated and it is not in tandem with what they earn at the end of the month. We must enrich this Bill to make the internship well structured. On the issue of the workload, interns' job descriptions and whoever they should report to, should be clear.
