    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the National Youth Service Bill 2018 be now read a Second Time. This a very important Bill and I really thank the Chair and the Members of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for doing a very vigorous public participation so that we start the Second Reading of this Bill. It is very important. If we enact this Bill, a lot of the messes that the young people in NYS go through will be a thing of the past. This Bill seeks to establish what will be known as the National Youth Service (NYS). It provides the functions, discipline, organisation and administration of NYS. Part I of the Bill just deals with preliminary provisions. Let me go to Part II which provides for the establishment of the NYS as a body corporate. This Service, being a corporate body, will be capable of suing or being sued. It has to have that acquiring, holding and disposing of all movable and non-movable properties. If you look at Clause 7 of the Bill, there is proper and systematic analysis of the functions of the Service. What the men and women there will do is well documented in Clause 7. Number one, they will undertake a paramilitary training of the members. I had the single opportunity to join NYS before I joined the university. I used to be a marksman. You know I am tall. The year does not matter. I was in the last cohort as a right marker. So, I can talk for NYS. You know Mzee Moi wanted to teach us some discipline but he realised later, when he disbanded that process, that he was training us to become military The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
