    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As much as I support the Bill, I also rise to support what Hon. Wanga has just said. The original Bill had given an indication of the youth. Paragraphs (g), (h) and (i) had actually said “a youth”. It is worrying that the Committee, as it is now with the amendment by Hon. Were, might not have even a single youth in there. Much as we are talking about the youth and what Dr. Nyikal had earlier said, let us not lose the focus of the intention of the Bill to have the representation of the youth within the Board. Otherwise, if we have Principal Secretaries who are above 50 years and no young person within it, then it will not be good. You are saying it is late to bring a further amendment. Maybe Hon. Were might want to think on how to leave it the way it was indicated in the Bill under paragraphs (h), (i) and (j). I do not know why Hon. Were thought of increasing the years from five to seven. Five years would also have given an opportunity for a young person to chair the Board. So, again if we increase the years of experience, that is also going to be--- Thank you."
