    "content": "Bill mentions that individuals should be good at resource mobilization, governance and public administration, community and social development, planning and devolution, research, advocacy and communication skills. One of the major concerns of a person who oversights taxpayers‟ money is resource mobilization. Everybody looks up to the national Treasury to gather resources. We must look beyond that, particularly in the area of rewarding youth. We must look for philanthropists to mobilize resources. In this Bill, the functions of the board are stated clearly. The board that has been proposed does not necessarily sit to give awards. Rather, it is also supposed to do research, resource mobilization and provide critical and quality advice on activities which impact on the lives of young people. The other thing that I note in this Bill is the issue of who is likely to be picked to serve as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the institution. The Bill suggests that the person must have, at least, five years‟ experience in matters relating to awards to young people. We have had CEO‟s being appointed through preference, or by looking at their good CVs and education qualifications. However, we must appoint persons who have the relevant qualifications to the job they have applied for. It is not just about CV‟s and education. If the CEO happens not to perform, then, definitely, he or she will over-load the staff. When the system fails, it is because of the human capacity that fails to deliver on time and efficiently."
