    "content": "We have to recognise that PBOs, like NGOs, play a very important role in supporting the economy and legislation is important. It is important to note the depth within which these NGOs conduct their business because some of them run programmes abroad. They send misbehaving children from abroad to countries like Kenya. They come here and learn the lifestyles of poor people so that they can give back to society. They learn something and go back. There is a vital role that NGOs play and this Bill is for their benefit. I applaud it once again. The role that the NGOs play is actually a shared responsibility between the Government and other people as a whole. Philanthropists like Dr. Manu Chandaria, who is very well known, will be very happy today to see the passage of this Bill being fast-tracked. He would also like it to be streamlined so that business can go on as usual. If the input of NGOs is in excess of Kshs100 billion, it is very important for such a sector to be regulated because we know one person’s gain can be another person’s disadvantage. We do not want people to be disadvantaged because we stand for the benefit of the people."
