    "content": "However, with a legal framework that has started the journey in this House, we are going to see reduced costs and also allow specialists in this area to set up shop in this country. There are many young doctors who are trained in this area but they are unable to practise because we do not have a legal framework and so, they have to borrow frameworks from other countries to operate. I believe that with the introduction of this Bill and eventually enactment into law, we are going to have many doctors who will able to assist. Many Kenyans have to travel to Nairobi and seek these services because they are only found here. However, with a legal framework, we will be able to have doctors empowered and able to set up shop in other parts of this country to offer this service. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have to draw your attention to the exploitation of young girls in this country by the few doctors who offer this service. They harvest their eggs and these girls do not even understand what is going to happen. These doctors then earn millions of shillings from this one egg or several eggs that they have harvested from innocent students. The university students are given lunch and probably Ksh10,000 and they go and think that they have earned something. However, even to protect the donors and the people who help in this process, we need this legal framework. To protect the donors and the people who help in the processes, we need this legal framework that is being proposed today in this House."
