    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to comment on this omnibus Bill, of the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) of 2021. Hon. Speaker, eventually I think you are likely to be the gate keeper, the depository of knowledge in this House. As I look around the House, this is a very important Bill, about this country. It is about the health of this nation. It proposes certain fundamental changes to the existing arts within the health laws that have been enacted by this House. The absence of the Chairperson and key Members of the Health Committee is telling, but having said that, the purpose of legislation is to enhance governance, to gauge in effectiveness and efficiency in performance of functions and duties, to gauge institutions and individuals. This House as it enacts laws or as it amends the old laws, must take into consideration the object of doing this. When we have the omnibus Bill, I think largely the omnibus is intended to bring about correction, not fundamental changes to existing acts and laws that superintendent institution. Hon. Speaker, having looked at this amendment that has been suggested, I see an attempt to inject bureaucracy to control, as opposed to injecting professionalism that we can extend to add value in the way we are able to control the health institution. I think as Government the purpose of government is to provide services and inject resources and at the same time to make sure that those resources are used purposefully. Hon. Speaker, professional bodies as those that have been indicated in this omnibus Bill are legal bodies, constitutionally constituted by most qualified individuals and that is how 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."
