    "content": " Let me rephrase my statement. I said sometimes some rogue medical doctors or practitioners take advantage of the ignorance of patients. I gave an example. I mean, we all live in this country. We all have patients and sometimes we face these challenges at home where a patient goes to a public hospital and there is a small note written “whatever you want, get it in this particular clinic.” If you go to that private clinic, even before you see a doctor, you will spend close to Ksh50,000. We are talking about a villager who has left home in some village in Kisii, about 500 kilometres away and travelled all the way to Nairobi. He has been referred somewhere and told that he should deposit a consultation fee of Ksh50,000 before he is even seen by a doctor. After being seen by the doctor, he is referred to some other ten medical centres for tests. This particular proposal by Hon. Barasa seeks to set regulations to compel a medical practitioner to justify why he decided to refer a patient to a particular clinic. Hon. (Dr.) Pukose, this will help you because I know that you are a sharp person. This will help you even in your private practice. Please, convince your colleagues in the medical fraternity to agree. You could be running a private clinic. Even if you do so, convince them. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
