Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to seek your directions with regard to the notice of Motion. I was looking at the composition and I was wondering whether there is any guideline as far as the representation of the coalition is concerned. I was looking at the ratio and I thought that much as it is party-sponsored from the other side of the coalition, they have more as opposed to our side of CORD. Is there any guideline in terms of the composition?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Hon. Mulu has clarified. The two are different professionals. The counsellor is important and the psychiatrist is important, but their functions or their competences, are different.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to thank you. This Bill is very good. It is supposed to sort out the issues of unemployment but we must do a proper cost- benefit analysis.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill even though there are some reservations which I will mention. I would like to thank Hon. Cecilia Ngetich for a job well done. Coming up with a Bill is not easy. It involves doing research and a lot of other work.
