    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended by inserting a new clause immediately after Clause 1 as follows:- Amendment of section 2 of 2005 1A. Section 2 of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act 2005 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the principal Act’) is amended by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (f)- (g) to facilitate affirmative action for the youth in accordance with Article 55 of the Constitution and also advance the youth participation in the procurement process in accordance with Article 227 of the Constitution. I must confess that matters related to the youth are very close to my heart and that is why I am coming up with the amendment that should anchor the issue of the youth in this Bill in its objectives. I am proposing that we include or add sub-clause (g) to the objectives of the Procurement Act. What has come out in most of the amendments is that they are inside the Act. I wanted to add that if somebody goes and reads the Act, he sees the youth already anchored there. That is the purpose of my amendment. Thank you."
