    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me second the Mover of this Bill. I will start by congratulating her for this Bill which is very timely. I congratulate her for the time she has put in this Bill and her passion for it. This is reflected in her words as she moved it. The importance of this sector which is being covered by this Bill is very familiar to all of us. It is a sector which in terms of value controls about Kshs300 billion every year. This is a sector, if the provisions of this Bill are put in place, its contribution will easily rise to a trillion which is about the budget of this country. When we talk about the PBOs in this country, many of us remember the areas they operate in. These are areas that have been neglected for many years since Independence. You will remember the good work that the Red Cross and such organizations have done in areas like Turkana and the eastern part of this country. The importance of this Bill, among others, will be the sanity it will bring into the operations of these organizations. All of us know how many times we have seen drama on our televisions when these organizations fight for offices. We believe that the regulation framework that will be put in place through this Bill will bring sanity to the industry. It will bring sanity by doing away with the so-called briefcase NGOs which have been a nightmare in this country. It will also do away with the cartels which have given this industry a bad name. There are many issues in this Bill which have been touched by the Mover. However, I will touch on a few."
