    "content": "Parliament. These are the youth from NYS. One was picked from every county. They did interviews. They came here and now they are doing work. We hope they can transition. So this has already begun and it can be taken further. But there has to be a merit system. It cannot just be that any youth who goes through NYS finally transitions into the disciplined forces. There has to be a system of merit where we know that these are the most meritorious youth and, therefore, number 1 to 30 will transit into the disciplined forces. It cannot just be random. It cannot just be taken from every source. I want to encourage Hon. Muchira, there are Acts of Parliament governing NYS and the disciplined forces. We should look at where to make strategic amendments. Now that your Motion will go through the Floor of this House, let us make those strategic amendments so that we develop a system of merit and the particular youth who will be qualified will transit, so that discipline pays for something. Previously, those who were to go to university went through NYS before. I think we have some in this House who went to NYS before going to university. The discipline that is instilled through this process cannot be gainsaid. Overall, I would like to support this Motion very much and thank Hon. Muchira for this very important and innovative Motion. Asante."
