    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. To comment on what Hon. Elachi has raised, we have summoned the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) in relation to the recent incident. From the information we have, that is a Level 2 facility which is not licensed to do cosmetic surgery. We must make sure that the right facility is the one offering the various services. We are on top of that. If you have time tomorrow, the Cabinet Secretary and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will appear before the Departmental Committee on Health. You can join us for any clarifications. To come back to Hon. Dawood, we have already said that the minimum requirement is a degree in pharmacy. However, we have to raise the level because having a degree only is not enough. The Director of the National Quality Control Laboratory shall possess a master's degree in a science-related field. It can be a master’s degree in management or any other areas that can assist him or her. The funds to be used for the management of the National Quality Control Laboratory shall consist of all money received or recovered under this part and a portion of the money appropriated by the National Assembly to the Authority. We are not closing it from appropriation of funds. It will appropriate funds to the Authority which can give that money to the National Quality Control Laboratory, which shall be the laboratory of the Authority. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman."
