    "content": "Almost all professionals in the country are being regulated. When practising banking, I was a member of the Kenya Institute of Bankers. You cannot practise as an accountant without being a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Even human resource practitioners now have laws regulating and defining who professionals are in that sector. The same applies to marketers, engineers, medics, teachers and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) practitioners. The Bill was long overdue, and the insurance sector should be celebrating that the 13th Parliament has elevated it from a general market to a professional practice, which will ensure that quacks do not operate in that sector. Through the Bill, we will standardise the qualifications, registration, and conduct of practitioners in the insurance profession. Standardising the industry will open the doors to globalisation so that any potential insurance practitioner around the world can access a website to establish the requirements for practising as an insurance professional in our Republic. We have seen unscrupulous businesspeople entering Kenya, setting up brokerage firms using the license of a non-practising broker and continuing to do business as aliens in the country. The Bill will resolve that problem and ensure only licensed and qualified practitioners can practise in the country."
