    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to thank hon. Junet for raising that issue and, perhaps, I would want to request him to raise it as a Statement because it is not an issue of counties. Issues of policies and principles are issues of the national Government and I know, for instance, it is not just the issue of age that must be interrogated. It is the issue of age, gender and ethnicity and we have laws that set standards that are not being followed. For instance, the National Cohesion and Integration Act which provided for one-third rule is being violated across every county. So, I know the reason some of us have not raised this is because there is a committee that has not yet been formed, which is the one on Equal Opportunity. The Committee on Equal Opportunity will touch on issues of youth, gender and ethnicity. So, I would just encourage the Leader of the Majority Party again to hasten the formation of that committee because it is a national issue. It is not a county issue. Thank you."
