    "content": "This is a very good Bill but we also need to look at the other Acts that talk about youth in this country and put them into one Bill so that they do not continue to contradict the spirit in which this National Youth Council Bill is pedestaled on. I want to say one last thing: on the culture of hard work and commitment, when we continue to bring in the issues of affirmative action into the youth issues, we are actually killing it. When I know I will be appointed or nominated, yes, it is a good training ground but why do we not allow people to go through competitive processes so that at the end of the day we will get quality leadership in the NYC and in the country? Lastly, I would like to say that the potential in the youth in this country is amazing. We have seen young people running strong businesses. In the USA you have the Young Business Leaders of America (YBLA) who are trained even from high school to be leaders in the business sector. At the end they emerge and have always driven the economy in the USA. What we need now apart from the NYC is to bring something for the Young Business Leaders of Kenya so that they can be nurtured to be successful and drive this economy. With those many remarks, I support and I thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
