    "content": " Very well. Thank you for informing me about the Hippocratic Oath. I think they should take that oath because they handle a lot of personal information. A grace period for transition is very important. The volunteer CHPs should not lose their place because of certification, which will be a requirement. For example, Form VI certificate which during our days was A Levels. Some people have a calling to become CHPs and during transition, they must be trained. A previous speaker said that we can upgrade their training using NG-CDF monies so that they can get to a level where they can be absorbed. This will lead to a continuous process without leaving some people out there and yet, they are committed but lack papers. After all, even in the education sector, we had an age where we have seen many people who did not get degrees transit and now they have become professors like Prof. Ali Mazrui himself. I was a very keen follower of Prof. Ali Mazrui, the historian. When you read his story, he got something called Fourth Division, for those who can remember what it was during those days. I would want that protection ascertained that even if the CHP has a Class 7 or 8 certificate but has been performing, let him be helped to grow through so that he or she is absorbed because the calling is there. I would also wish to add that it is very important that we do a lot of public participation and copying from other jurisdictions where that scheme has worked. Many examples have been given like Rwanda, Brazil and India; both dealing with their professionalism and remuneration when this Bill is put in place and activated so that we may get the best out of what we want. Currently, that is a group that is suffering. I want to thank His Excellency the President because he brought in the aspect of a stipend from the national Government and asked the governors to also pay another bit of it. It must have been Ksh2,500 each. That stipend is not forthcoming most of the time. There are often delays that take as long as six months before The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
