    "content": "Secondly, there were issues of exercising the powers of the NYC. It is critical that we reform and energise it, so that its members can execute the mandate of youth participation in national and international affairs. I congratulate the architect of this Bill for bringing the issues of composition of the council. Previously, we used to have 24, making it difficult to execute its mandate. Now, going by the list of 10 members from different geographical locations, ethnicity and gender, we will have a very good composition of board members. One of the objectives of the NYC is to align youth policies with the Constitution. If you look at the current NYC mandates and rules, most of them are aligned to the former Constitution. We are going to change some terminologies to align them with the current Constitution and the existing boundaries. We used to have locations and districts in the former Constitution, but we will be dealing with wards and counties. So, it is a good and timely way of aligning the Bill with the current Constitution. I wish to remind my colleagues about the challenges our youth are facing. If you look at the number of university graduates that we inject into the economy every year, you will realise The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
