    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker, I want to thank all the Members of this august House for the contributions that they have put into this Bill. I really thank all of them for the focus that they have placed on this. There were some concerns raised by, I think, one Member to the effect that the country does not need authorities. Really, what we must do is weigh the benefits of having an authority against the negative effects. We may be too shy to create bodies to the extent that we may end up eating ourselves up. So, we really look forward to going through this Bill in the next stages, with the aim of making it an Act. The other issues that came up will be dealt with as we move along. The most important thing is for us to have a Bill that will centralize the fight against AIDS, bring more focus, enable the authority to raise funds internally and externally, and, indeed, co- ordinate the fight against HIV and AIDS across board. We know that a lot of orphans are out; they have come as a result of HIV and AIDS deaths; I think we need to rededicate our resources, our energy and our thought processes to this fight. With those few remarks, I beg to reply. Thank you."
