Irene Mayaka","speaker":null,"content":"Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me highlight some of the things that are in this Bill that I like. One of them is the fact that we have decided that the JSS interns will be fully supported, together with medical interns. One of the major concerns that I have is that we live in a country where 78 per cent of our population is youthful but the allocation for funds is not proportionate. Even in this Parliament, we do not have a department that is specific to youth-related affairs. Youths are treated in this country like a by-the-way and we need to change that.
