    "content": "things so fast because of the ever-evolving technology in terms of computer software, emergence and application of Artificial Intelligence in day-to-day activities, and so much information being pumped into the communities. This Bill seeks to ensure that matters related to such evolution are handled. I am also very much encouraged to note that this Bill does not request for funding from the Exchequer. I think this is one aspect that the House has taken seriously – that people cannot just organise themselves into professional bodies, hook themselves up with a government ministry, or public institution, and seek to be given a budget line within the national budget. This Bill proposes that the professionals are going to finance themselves by making sure that they are organized, so that they will seek for donations. They will have to come up with written proposals to generate funds from elsewhere, so as not to rely on public funds. For example, at the moment, we are struggling to get money for TB drugs, HIV drugs and other health challenges. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Kimilu has come up with a very important Bill. I would like to congratulate and support him. I also encourage other Members to support the Bill. There are social workers of different sectors. There are those who work in hospitals, gender experts, those who work with probation officers, and others who deal with people who have been in prison for long and have been released, but are not able to deal with the situation. Those are professionals who need to be trained well so that they can deal with the category of people that they are supposed to deal with. Child welfare officers need to be given special training on communication skills with children and how to deal with traumatised children. I congratulate the Hon. Member for Kaiti for coming up with this important Bill. I support it. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance."
