    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I also want to join my colleagues to congratulate the Hon. Member for bringing this Bill. It is a very straightforward Bill. We have had issues with implementation of laws and legislation. We cannot leave it to the whims of the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to decide when such an important and critical Bill should be implemented, when we know and appreciate the work that the NGOs are doing in this country. The object and purpose of the Public Benefits Organisations (PBO) Act was to encourage and support the work of those organizations as they meet the diverse needs of the people of Kenya. Just yesterday, I spoke to an official from one of the NGOs which is providing water in one of the areas in Teso South Constituency. I was very happy. They just needed some support towards community contribution. This is a very critical Bill. It is very timely. We should all support it. The provisions of that Bill should be implemented immediately so that we provide a conducive working environment for the PBO sector to grow and expand. We need to provide the administrative and legislative framework to enable them to carry out their activities. They are very important to this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
