    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to raise my concerns on this Amendment Bill in terms of its form and the way it has been structured. I do not think it will help the groups that it intends to help. Among these group are the youth, the women and the people with disabilities, but there is no structured form which gives directions on how those groups will benefit. This is the one thing that needs serious consideration is this. We have tycoons in this country who will go out to take advantage of the allocation that has been given, more so, to the youth. When a company is formed by a group of youth and is registered, one thing that raises questions is whether the same group of youth truly have the capital to participate in the tendering that is advertised. That is a very serious issue. Who are the youth? This Amendment Bill describes the youth as people who are between 18 years and not more than 35 years. Where will a young person who has just left secondary school or university at the age of 25 get the capital to compete for a tender The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
