    "content": "to make a minority dissenting report, but the Clerk declined and denied me secretarial services to do that arguing that I cannot do a minority report on a Bill. I was so aggrieved and felt that there was a sinister motive behind the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill. I agree with Hon. Duale that you should look at it carefully before you allow any debate on those amendments to go on. As a professional and a highly qualified doctor, if I were to be regulated by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board, I would pay my subscriptions. That is the money that runs the Council and has built the magnificent building next to the Department of Defence. How can I be told that I cannot be part of the regulation; I cannot be on the board; and I cannot be on the Council and that somebody else be put in the Council to regulate me? For lack of a better word, it is madness. Hon. Speaker, as a professional yourself, a lawyer of high standing in this country, you know how self-regulation is supposed to be."
