    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In the same breath, there are Private Members' Bills that, due to their significance and importance, sometimes become Committee Bills. For instance, my Bill on the Kenya Drugs Authority is one such Bill. We have already done winnowing. This Bill is crucial for local manufacturing of vaccines and drugs, which can be utilized within the region. Many international investors, our bio-firms, and the Kenya Primate Research Institute are eagerly awaiting this Bill. The passage of the National Drug Authority Bill will elevate Kenya to a maturity level three country, according to the WHO classification. It will enable us to manufacture and export our drugs. Currently, despite completing the winnowing process, the Bill is still pending. Additionally, there is another Bill by Hon. Millie Odhiambo on assisted reproductive health, which the Committee is currently winnowing. Although the winnowing process for the Kenya Drugs Authority Bill is complete, both Bills are awaiting scheduling. Therefore, I urge the House Business Committee to reschedule those important Bills for debate by the House."
