    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The issue of public health is one of interest, particularly in Nairobi County. I rise to contribute to this Motion on the confirmation of the nominee for the Director General for Public Health, Dr. Patrick Omwanda Amoth. He has a very impressive education background in medicine and public health. He has also demonstrated that he has the knowledge and the experience having acted for four years in the same position. He has had major contributions to the public health sector in the country. He has contributed to the strategies and the existing health policies over time. He has also demonstrated leadership in medical crisis during, for example, the medical pandemic of COVID-19. He has the endorsement of both committees on Health of both Houses confirming his suitability for the position. So, what does the future of public health hold under Dr. Amoth? During his interview, I saw him commit to innovation and improving the sector, which is very important. The health sector is changing rapidly every other day, internationally and we will need someone who is progressive to adopt with innovation. He has also committed to address the challenges that we face today, access to Health, health education and the challenge of the availability of health services. With those few remarks, because of time, I beg to support this Motion."
