    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to talk on the Community Groups Registration Bill (National Assembly Bill No.20 of 2020). This Bill will allow for the registration of community groupings like the CBOs and the mostly known village groups. It is through groups like the village women, the youth and the people living with disability that they do their things. A lot of activities are done within groupings. I am very sure once this Bill is put into place, it will be able to foster development in our communities by enhancing social welfare amongst our people. Therefore, this is a timely Bill. It will assist. We have had some cases where groups get funded and once funded, the officials have controversies. Some of them will take off with the group’s fund. Once this Bill is enacted into law, it will ensure that some of those issues are not there. Arrangements will be done properly and groups will develop through such, namely, the CBOs and the normal groups. It is through these small groups that people are coming up with different initiatives like table banking. They assist and women are benefiting from such groups. Once a law is put in place to govern this kind of scenario, it will be of great importance to our people. It will assist greatly. Therefore, I support the Bill with the outermost strength because it is going to assist our women groups, youth groups and groups of people living with disability. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance."
