"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate my colleagues for the very kind sentiments when they were responding to this Bill. First of all, I would like to thank Hon. Abdullahi Diriye for doing what I did not do. He was a good Seconder. He elicited the salient points in the Bill, showing what the objectives are and what that Bill helps in totality. I have heard colleagues speak and they appreciate the work that has been done by PBOs; which all of us agree to. I have also heard some dissenting voices speaking to the fact that some PBOs may have been responsible for other atrocious acts in the past. I would like us to distinguish the fact that most of the PBOs we are talking about are involved in development work. We should not lose focus and instead support the ones that are doing a good job. In equal measure, should there be PBOs which are doing things contrary to the law, they should be punished. We should not punish all PBOs in totality simply because some are wrong. That point needs to be made. The second thing is that this PBO Act is going to be important. Presently, the regulation of the PBO sector has not been very good. If we operationalise this Act, it will create regulation The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
