    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended— c. in the proposed amendments to section 46(1)— (i) by deleting the proposed new paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph− “(a) a chairperson appointed by the Cabinet Secretary who shall be a health professional with ten years’ experience and who meets the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution and has knowledge and experience in matters related to human resource management;” (ii) by deleting paragraph (d) of the proposed new section 46(1) and inserting the following new paragraph− “(d) one representative nominated by the Council of County Governors;” (iii) by deleting the proposed new subsection (1A) and inserting the following new subsections— (1A) The persons appointed under subsections (1)(e), (f) and (g) shall be appointed by the Cabinet Secretary from among members nominated by their relevant professional associations or institutions, each of which shall nominate two candidates in each category taking into consideration gender, ethnicity and regional balance. (1B) The nominations under subsection (1)(e), (f) and (g) shall be done within a period of thirty days from the date of occurrence of the vacancy, and where the relevant association or institution fails to provide the nomination, the Cabinet Secretary shall nominate representatives from such associations or institutions. This amendment seeks to retain the qualification of the Chairperson of the Kenya Health Professionals Oversight Authority as originally contained in the Health and further enhances it by providing for 10 years’ experience. The amendment also seeks to remove the Attorney-General from the membership of the Authority and instead retains a representative of a person nominated by the Council of County Governors. This is necessary owing to the fact that health is a concurrent function of the national and county governments. It also seeks to provide for the manner of nomination of representatives to the Authority by various institutions. I beg to move."
