    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I agree with the spirit of Clause 8. However, I would like to oppose Clause (1A)(b). I have no problem with meritocracy and I have no problem with the qualifications. However, I have a problem with the age requirement. You are putting the requirement for 10 years of experience. That is going to disenfranchise very many young people. I appeal to the Chair of the Committee that, whereas meritocracy is very good and everything that she proposes is very good, I only have a small problem with that clause, which puts the knowledge and experience to, at least, 10 years. There are many young people in this country who do not have that number of years of experience, but have made it to be chairpersons. An example is my good friend, Hon. Sakaja, who has done a very good job running a national political party and he did not need to have 10 years of experience. When you do this, you disenfranchise the young people of this country. Committee Chair, please agree with me that we drop this particular amendment."
