    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Bill, which is very straightforward. It seeks to give the NCPD legal standing so that it becomes a corporate body. Secondly, it seeks to give it a new lease of life after the expiry of 10 years, as stipulated by the Policy or the Act at formation. Issues of population, especially population census, are very emotive. We have cases in the country where even after a population census, some Kenyans in some areas feel that it was not done properly. Therefore, this Bill seeks to give that council a legal status so that it can be properly constituted and staffed with the employees that are required in terms of qualifications so that they do a good job for this country and make a good budget. Once it has been given a legal standing, it will be possible for this House to give it an independent budget. Like I said, the Bill is straightforward. The rest of the clauses as moved by the Mover speak to the functions, duties, administration issues, audit, general provisions and further future transitions of the NCPD."
