Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment which will make the youth council more robust and effective. The youth of this country are a very important vehicle for any development. I have, however, noted that amendment (b) and (c) is a repetition by stating thus: “(b) the Principal Secretary responsible for matters relating to youth or his or her representative nominated in writing.” “(c) the Principal Secretary responsible for matters relating to youth or his or her representative nominated in writing.” It is a repetition and that is why it is making the number to be 16. ...

be applied. You will find three youth from the same region. Youth have regions and they should have been taken into account. It should have been stated that the 10 must represent certain regions in the country.

Otherwise, this amendment is good and we support with further amendment so that it is well indicated.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to also weigh in on this matter. First, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate my successor, Hon. Wanga, who has just spoken. It seems she is a good successor because she started well. Since then, I have been on the backbench. This is my first speech. She is doing well because she was even my follower at the university. Therefore, I have no doubt that she will perform. However, we are also here ready to help.

Other than this House focusing on what the Constitution says, led by yourself, Hon. Speaker, it has been a respected House because we have never done anything which brings disrepute to this House especially with the public. We have been acting as per the Constitution. I urge the House to continue working, but let us not get tired pointing out areas the Senate does The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

wrong, but we should not waste a lot of time there. We should only face one direction and leave the Senate to decide what they want to do. Yesterday, in fact, they were not able to understand how amendments on the same matter are supposed to be prosecuted.

I am guided, Hon. Speaker. I was just mentioning it so that we are not seen to be like them. We know what we are doing and I urge the House that we proceed with the way we do our work and stick by the law, that whatever has been passed by this House and has been enacted into law, should remain, so that the public is not misled. We should stick to what is passed by this House and signed by the President into law under the Division of Revenue Bill.
