    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank hon. Dr. Eseli Simiyu for bringing this Bill to this House. This Bill is long overdue. The issue of human resource management in this country and elsewhere in the world is so crucial for socio-economic development. Therefore, it is important that this important profession is organized in a manner that it can regulate itself and put down rules and regulations that will govern their activities and conduct. I am particularly impressed that this Bill is proposing to establish an institute of human resource management which will be responsible for the establishment, monitoring and publishing of standards of professional competence and practice among human resource professionals. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, most fields including engineering, law, planning, architecture and others have professional bodies to regulate their activities and ensure that certain minimum standards are upheld. The human resource management has been lacking. This is the biggest of all of them because anywhere you go you must have human resource managers. It is long overdue that they should have an institute or body that regulates their activities and particularly to register their members as per the required ethics and standards and ensure that in conducting their activities sanity, humility and fairness are upheld particularly when it comes to recruitment. This is because in some of the organizations we have human resource managers who, because there are no regulatory mechanisms, when it comes to recruitment of staff, they recruit staff based on various criteria. Some of them use unfair criteria and they cannot be reprimanded. Therefore, if this Bill is enacted into law, those errant managers will not be able to practice what they are practicing today. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank my good friend, Dr. Eseli, for bringing this Bill and I Second it wholeheartedly."
