    "content": "youth. I want this to particularly focus on the youth – the young people graduating from university. At the university, we have issues with placement officers. The Authority was supposed to work hand in hand with the placement officers at the university. People in their 40s, who may have been sacked from previous employment or who are out of employment for one reason or the other, should not start competing with the youth. There should be no talk of being discriminative because this Authority is coming into being to particularly focus on the youth. We have seen many other agencies, like the Women Enterprise Development Fund, focusing on issues of women. We have also seen the Cash Transfer Fund focusing on the elderly people. This Bill was initially in line with the 30 per cent provision for the youth in matters of procurement. We have now moved to employment because the youth are the ones who have issues. When it comes to employment, they have no experience. They may have just left university or college. I oppose the amendment because embracing it would lose the focus of the Bill."
