    "content": " Chair, whereas I may not have a problem with the proposed amendments by Hon. Kaluma, who, if I got correctly, seeks to delete sub-clauses (a), (b) and (c), the clauses that he seeks to delete provide a framework for the protection and advancement of assistive reproductive technology services for every person, create an enabling environment for the education of infertility and subfertility in Kenya, and ensure access to quality and comprehensive assistive reproductive technology services. Even though I may have no problem with this as a further amendment, I have a problem with the deletion. I do not see what is wrong with providing a framework for assistive technology. The problem we have in our country is that without a framework, the assistive reproductive technology is subject to abuse. It has no regulation or framework. We are not here to just provide for surrogacy, but also to provide a framework to regulate that sector. If we do not regulate that sector, then people will end up misusing it. My aim with Hon. Kaluma is similar. Sometimes, you may be on the same path, but think that you are on the wrong path. My aim is to ensure that the process does not take advantage of couples who are trying to get assistive reproduction. For example, without a framework, one person can donate even a hundred times, resulting to children who are related, but do not know each other. This is why we need a framework. I would encourage Hon. Kaluma to move his as a further amendment, but drop the deletion."
