    "content": " I did not say anything else. If you heard anything else, it was probably a slip of the tongue. There used to be a very strong youth movement in this country. We knew the chairman of the KANU youth, secretary-general and how it worked. The reason we decided to depoliticise this is so that we have a youth council that takes care of all shades of opinion, all shades of colour, race and all that so that everybody gets represented within that particular framework. For eight years, this has not happened because of fear that if you open it up, so and so will influence. We need to get this to a rest. We need to have a strong youth council. I want to implore upon Members that this is a Bill that we needed to have passed yesterday. Why? Because so much is happening in this country.
