    "content": "I have also noted that the Bill provides and encourages accommodation and partnership with other international foundations or programmes. This will be good because we will borrow best practices from other places where such programmes have been running efficiently for a long time. I have also noted that the Bill requires the Board to provide annual reports to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge and a copy to be laid in the House. This means that this House will also get to know what is happening and will make some inputs or contributions. A more detailed report will be given annually to the President who I want to believe will be the patron of this programme. This is good because there will be accountability in the programme. It also provides to detect masqueraders and quacks who may try to come in using shortcuts to benefit and profiteer from this programme. It provides very stiff penalties of up to five years imprisonment for those who might involve themselves in such schemes without proper authorization. I think this is part of making sure that everything is done according to the law. Of course, the procedures and functions of the Board are well detailed in the Bill. This is a very timely and useful Bill which will go a long way in helping the youth. As we do this, let us not forget the existing schemes like the scouts, girl guides and others which have been in place for a long time. We should also support and strengthen them."
