    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. First, most Members have talked about voting for Members of the EALA based on experience. As you will find out, there are some youth who have no legislative experience in such matters. I urge Members to give opportunity to such youth because to become a good legislator, one does not need to have legislative experience. You need to understand the issues that affect the community around you. Once we do this, we will be able to nurture leaders who will be of importance to our nation. The other thing that we should consider, apart from regional balance, is the special groups like the minority groups and people living with disabilities. As we vote tomorrow, I urge Members to consider all these groups. Once this is done, we will make sure that there is good balance in the EALA. Let us not vote based on our party affiliation. Let us vote, knowing that these people are going to the EALA to represent our country. They are not going there to represent their political coalitions. Once this is done, we will have the best people in the EALA. With those remarks, I beg to support."
