    "content": "I also want to recognize the bit about the board members that will be awarding young people. The Bill recommends people who are experienced, have gone through different types of lives and have come up with different life skills. I believe that once you are a member of this board, you will be as fair as possible. This country is divided along gender, religious and even tribal lines. So, sometimes, when an award of this nature comes up, people will scrutinize who is going to benefit from it. They will want to look at the criteria that is used to award its winners. So, this is a board must be constituted of just people who will look across the country and see the type of people who qualify for the awards. It must be sensitive to women who will get the award and the young girls that will require to be awarded. What do women do that will need recognition that requires them to be awarded? So, we have to look at those issues. They will need to look at different regions and see what young people do there, what inspires them and what they have come up with to be awarded. This board is going to be hugely challenged. It will need to be extremely professional and neutral in identifying winners. Otherwise, a Bill like this will motivate people. But if you just award young people from one region, do not look at different gender angles and many other factors that make us different yet united, the board may fail. It will fail us if it does not become sensitive to the lives of young people."
