    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I thank the Committee for doing a good job. In my constituency, Ndhiwa, what sustains women’s income, especially household income, is the Uwezo Fund, Women Enterprise Fund and the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. I think it was not by coincidence that these people wanted to bypass the legislation. Also, it is not a coincidence that they did not do public participation. It was by design. So, we have to annul it. What we need to do with regard to this Fund is capacity development for the workers and the people who are taking the loans. I want to cite that sometimes when women gain because of doing business, men get frustrated and even try to wipe out all the gains. We also need to think about men. I support the annulment of these Regulations. Thank you."
