    "content": "I wish to propose a deletion but with a further amendment. I want to inform the Members the thinking behind the National Employment Authority Act which was moved by Hon. Sakaja. It was mainly targeting young people. He was hoping that even when you are hiring, it would give advantage to young people. The proposed amendment seeks to curtail the chances of young people. For instance, you bring an amendment to provide that the persons must have master’s degree and 10 years’ experience. Some of us became directors without 10 years’ experience. Sometimes we limit people for no good reason. The only further amendment I wanted is that I had proposed deletion to the proposed amendment in (d) which is, “has not attained the age of 35 years at the time of appointment.” When you do that, it actually closes and makes sure that it is only the youth. Whereas I would like it to be open for the youth to have an advantage, I would also not like a situation where it is only the youth who can be the Director General. So, I want to withdraw my proposed amendment to (d) but retain the rest."
