"content": " I beg to move that the Kenya National Council for Population and Development Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 72 of 2023), be now read a Second Time. I want to say that the gist of this Bill is very simple. It is to anchor the National Council for Population and Development (NCPD) in law. It has existed because of a Legal Notice. As we know, Legal Notices only exist up to 10 years only. Then, they collapse beyond 10 years. Therefore, the NCPD requires a legal instrument to allow it exist in perpetuity. We need to put it in law and develop an Act. For those who are asking the questions, that is the gist of the matter. The NCPD has been there for many years. It was set up in 2004. It has existed based on a Legal Notice. We now want to transform this Legal Notice into an Act of Parliament to give the NCPD a better platform to exist. It is a Semi-Autonomous Government Agency 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."
