    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move to move that the National Youth Council (Amendment) Bill be read a Second Time. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the National Youth Council (Amendment) Bill, 2019, seeks to amend the National Youth Council Act No. 10 of 2009 to cure governance challenges faced by the Council. This is due to the large number of the composition of the Council. The previous Board members were 24, which goes against the Mwongozo from the Government. Also, it was faced by the many challenges that come with a large number, when you want to make decisions pertaining key critical issues affecting the young people. Also, reducing the number aims at depoliticising the Council. The Council has been faced with so much politics around what the roles of the Chairman and the CEO are, and what kind of activities need to be done by the Council. There is also the issue of election and nominations. Those issues have affected the operations of the Council. The Board has also been involved in a lot of politics, something which has affected the operations of the Council. I would like to tell the 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."
