    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, from the outset, I support. I have an advantage of speaking after the Member for Kibra Constituency who has the experience of these awards. The village school I went to never had that advantage. That is why it is important that this becomes a law because the President‟s Award was launched back in 1966. Until now, I do not think anybody from my county has ever got an award. I was not privileged as a Member for Kibra Constituency to go through it. This award is targeting young people between 14 years and 24 years, irrespective of their gender or physical status. It is important that it becomes a law so that there is fairness. We have had several awards, including some that are given from State House every public holiday, but at times we do not know how the selection is done. We have some heroes and heroines back in the village who deserve these awards, but they have never got their names on the list of those to be awarded. Once we entrench in law the President‟s award, then we will have a Board of Trustees in place to manage the whole affair. I hope the board will do a good job by moving from county to county."
