"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection regarding the delay of the National Youth Council (NYC) elections. The NYC is a corporate body established through the National Youth Council Act Cap.132 and primarily acts as the official voice of the youth in Kenya. It is mandated to advocate for opportunities for the youth to associate, to be represented and to participate in the political, social, economic and other spheres of life. In addition, Legal Notice No.183 of 2021 provides the legal framework of youth as members of the NYC. The Act requires the election to be held every three years. Despite the regulations, NYC has failed to conduct elections since 2012 thereby denying the youth their right to representation and participation in national development and governance."
