"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I agree with Hon. Nyikal who was once a Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Health, and also the Director-General of KEMSA. The members of the board being nominated by the cabinet secretary under Clauses 8(2)(e), (d), (h), (i), (j), and (k) are well-versed in their professions. You do not want to install a chairperson who will be the only person with no knowledge of pharmacy. He or she will be swamped with ideas from those professionals. You also do not want to stick a director-general of the Authority with a chairperson of the board who may not even understand pharmacy. Pharmacists manage these organisations in such a way that the board chairperson needs to be the strongest pharmacist on the board. We have problems in our parastatals because managers of those entities have no knowledge of the areas they are appointed in. There will be no efficiency in such a scenario. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, we need to put our “foot” down and tell pharmacists that if the Director-General of the Authority will be a pharmacist, the chairperson of the board should be an even more qualified pharmacist."
