    "content": "I may not be a youth, but I have several youth in my house that I talk to every evening and morning and I know what they are going through. The current status of leadership in the world is that we have a youthful Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, who is only 34 years. She is a female youth and is the Prime Minister of a first class country called Finland. The question I am asking is whether it is possible for a Kenyan youth, leave alone a female, to be Prime Minister, cabinet secretary or hold other serious positions that we are talking about. You can see even in this Chamber, the youth representation is minimal. The Member who has brought this Bill is here by nomination, may be if he had gone for elections, it would have been a problem. Therefore, the question we are asking as Kenyans is whether we are treating the majority of this country fairly.
