    "content": "This is a very simple Bill. The Bill seeks to strengthen the structure of engagement with young people in the discourse of all public affairs in this country as provided for in the National Youth Council Act. We could talk about so many things but, if you want young people to participate and engage with what happens in daily lives, the best way to go about it is to have systems and structures that enable them to participate in the county government processes, constituency processes, ward processes and national discourses. If you want them to participate, they must be organised in a particular manner that helps them do so. This is not the only country with this kind of a system. Uganda has had one since 1993. In fact, that country has two MPs designated as youth MPs, both female and male. You do not have to wait for Hon. Keter, Hon. Babu Owino or Hon. David Ochieng’ to claim that they love youth to represent them. We just need to have young people in this House representing them."
