    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at my amendment, which is more or less the same as the one proposed by the Committee, I am not deleting anything. Instead, I have said that a health worker or a proprietor shall not accept a gift as an inducement from a manufacturer or a distributor. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am saying this to reinforce what has been said by Dr. Eseli. Section 10(2) of the code of regulation by Kenya Bureau of Standards says:- “No facility of a healthcare system shall be used for the purpose of promoting infant formula or other products within the scope of this code. This code does not, however, preclude the dissemination of information to health professionals.” I think that is what Dr. Eseli was saying. We are not outlawing the complementary food. We need to train some of these people. We can only train them through seminars and workshops. Sub-clause “iii” says:- “A health worker or a proprietor shall not accept from a manufacturer or a distributor of a designated or complementary food product fellowship, scholarship, research grant, study tour, funding for meetings and conferences, seminars or continuing education courses.” So, instead of being so harsh, I have put “inducement” so that the ambiguity is removed. I do not know the feeling of other hon. Members."
