    "content": "Secondly, the entire list of 16 does not include any single youth and this is a very serious issue because if you look at Article 55(b) it also talks of affirmative action in terms of youth representation. We understand that the Jubilee Government rode to power on the crest of youth support or so we are told and I expected the Chairman of the TNA who is here to have been at the forefront at opposing this list because he is also a youth. It is not right that we pay lip service to the question of youth. To advance the argument of my colleague, hon. (Ms.) Wanga, the Constitution dictates under Article 10 that we have regional representation and it abhors discrimination of any sort. If you look at the composition of this proposed Cabinet bearing in mind that the Cabinet will have these 16 nominees including the President, the Deputy President and the Attorney-General, you find that members of the community from where the President emanates will have 31 per cent of the composition of the Cabinet. And members of the community from where the Deputy President emanates will have equally 31 per cent of the entire composition. This is a whole 62 per cent of the entire Cabinet coming from two communities."
