Zuleikha is grateful that her father’s postings abroad exposed her to a myriad of opportunities, which impacted on her life positively. While studying in South Africa, she recalls that she went through the stages of anger over apartheid. The realization of Zuleikha that one needed to be in politics to influence policy formulation prompted her to join politics. Initially, Zuleikha sought the Kaloleni parliamentary seat but was dissuaded. In parliament she has pushed the government to fund the National Youth Council.

The amendment that has been proposed speaks about the commencement of the implementation under Section 49(3) of the proposed amendment. I would like to say that the report was received in May and three months from that time is August. So, by now it should have been implemented. So, I want to support this amendment because of that. Thank you.

Thank you. Just quickly before I contribute, I just wanted to react to something that one of the Members said earlier on this Bill. That is at the time I was sitting here. That was hon. Sakaja. He said that he was the Chair of the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association. I just wanted to say that I am the duly elected Chair.

I stand to oppose this Bill because of essentially what it says about the National Youth Council (NYC). One of the things that it has done is that it has removed--- There were eight nominated young members from the Council who had to be in the board. It has removed all the eight and so, there is no youth representation in the Board. Also, as alluded to by hon. Kabando wa Kabando, it says that the functions of the board should be changed from advisory to supervisory and approval of plans, financial statements and so on must be ensured.
