good morning well I’ll just jump right
in don’t want to keep you guys waiting I
have a dream that one day our Bahama
land will not only be run by a singular
political party but will also be run by
the youth of the country
in other words I won the Bahamas to be
run by a senior government and a junior
government have you ever wondered how
our Baha Milan would be if the youth of
this nation actually had a say and they
were actually involved in leading the
country aren’t we as youth
intelligent innovative knowledgeable
about our country I thought of an idea
after watching a favorite show of mine a
cadre oversees the activities of their
village from sending ninj on missions
turn to making decisions regarding the
safety of their people a villages Kogi
is generally acknowledged as its most
powerful ninja it’s time for project
cogging in other words kids actualizing
governance everyday kids
actualize in governance every day is a
plan to get the youth of this nation
involved with the development of a
better Bahamas using their ideas fully
and to the best of their abilities
project cog is a plan developed by me to
have a youth section of the government
to help with the governing body they
will work along with the government to
ensure the decisions made by said
government are in tandem with the
Constitution and the will of the people
the Bahamas is a democratic monarchy in
other words be Haman’s have to write the
freely vote while the head of state
which is the Queen of England and her
representative who is our
governor-general despite this the
country is actually run by the Prime
Minister and his or her selected cabinet
the country is actually run by three
different branches of government
judicial executive and legislative the
judicial branch is led by the Attorney
General and run by the judges and
magistrates
while the executive branch is led by the
Prime Minister and is run by the Cabinet
ministers for different ministries
example Ministry of Finance Ministry of
Education and Ministry of Public Works
the legislative branch is led by the
leader of the proposition who is the
Prime Minister who heads the Lower House
of Assembly the Opera House is run by
the appointed senators and the leader is
known as the president of the Senate
both houses work together to pass laws
the members of parliament elected by the
Bohemians in their respective
constituencies meet and pass bills to
then go to the Senate for final
approving as its in its poor typical
phase carga will first be applied to the
lower house of assembly the House of
Assembly in this new system there will
be a senior House of Assembly and a
junior House of Assembly both of which
will be elected by the people in their
respective constituencies the use of
this nation are normally neglected and
in many instances sometimes we become
the little medicine society Society and
I look down upon the only reason the
majority of the youth of this nation are
not involved with government is because
the seniors almost never give us a
chance to express our ideas to the
fullest extent through this form of
government the senior men and women of
this country will have no choice but to
hear the voices of the youth to be
considered a youth in this new system
you must be between the ages of 16 to 34
and the seniors our age at 35 and above
meaning that there is no age limit for
the senior government official the new
qualifications to work in this
government from an academic standpoint
you achieving a minimum of 5 is in your
be Jaycees and a minimum GPA of 3.1 Oh
there’ll be no part of there will be no
specified race but you must be a
bohemian citizen for a minimum of three
years in project cobby
they’ll be senior members of the House
of Assembly and junior members of the
House of Assembly in this new government
system the senior and piece of each
consistency would have the needs of
those 35 years and above while the
junior MPs would hear the needs of the
citizens in the constituency 434 and
below since our current MPs meet on
Wednesdays of each week the junior MPs
would meet on Thursdays the decisions
made by this type of government would
have to be approved by the junior and
senior MP even though junior
sima MP for each constituency must keep
each other abreast and aware of what
their arm is doing in the constituency
they would only have to decide over a
decision over a dollar value of 2000 the
government will the government will draw
from their experience and expertise in
every area of governance the government
must use this expertise to enhance and
affect all projects plans and decisions
to pass bills create legislature and
make laws for the country’s betterment
please allow me to relay a scenario for
you you ran for the junior and people
for let’s say the constituency of marco
city and you won you are now the holder
of $10,000 per annum stipend from the
public treasury this means your job now
is the you said money to act in the
needs of your constituency in
partnership with the senior MP to make
things flow smoother and to make your
job easier I decided that the senior MP
will deal with the claims made by those
34 35 and above while you the junior
counterpart deals with those 34 and
below you and your partner will meet
every Thursday and make a plan that
would be that would benefit all citizens
of your constituency this way the Lord
severe with helping an entire
constituency is evenly distributed
between the junior and senior MP
position the mind of the youth is a
treasure as when it’s in its early stage
it is like a sponge and it is filled
with so many ideas some of which can be
vital to helping this nation with their
direct involvement and government they
would be heard to a greater degree
they’d be able to assist in recreating
the country as we know it and to say
what the underlying problem is never
doubt that a small group of thoughtful
committed people can change the world
indeed it is the only thing that ever
has Margaret Mead government’s past and
present have struggled term after term
to enact real change and lead our
country forward but with only little
success so I end with this question that
I accent you truly ponder don’t you
think it’s time that we whom they call
the youth and the future of our country
actually join into the development of
the future of this nation thank you
[Applause] you
