• 'Youth body needs more pro-democracy voices'

Naomi Ho, from the concern group Youth Policy Advocators

A member of the newly established Youth Development Commission has conceded that it lacks voices from the pro-democracy camp and the grassroots.

The comment was made by the Democratic Party's member Senia Ng, who is the government advisory body's only member from the pro-democracy camp.

Speaking on an RTHK programme, she said the make-up of the body at present leans towards the more well-off and pro-Beijing sectors.

She suggested the problem could be rectified by allowing young people to elect their own representatives.

Her view was echoed by another speaker on the programme, Naomi Ho, from the concern group Youth Policy Advocators.
