    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are the very concerns that make this Motion a very important one that we should all support in this House. We should ensure that Cap.253, which establishes the KMPDB, is amended so that we can correct the situation and condition in such a manner that it is actually sensitive to what is going on. We can only do that if we bring this body closer to where the action is; and the action is usually at the counties, where most of the population stays. It is therefore important that we support this Motion which seeks to establish sectors or an arm of the KMPDB at the counties. It is in this respect that we think this body can respond faster to the suffering of the population on the ground. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do know that this negligence is not caused by lack of knowledge by the medical practitioners. I am aware of this because the manner in which medical practitioners work, there is a lot of referrals, consultation and team work that goes on and, so, knowledge is shared on the ground. It is really not the lack of knowledge that is causing this problem. Therefore, it is important that we look at the aspect of licensing of the medical practitioners such that the licensing is done in such a manner that no single medical licence is given, but a licence is given to a group or a team of doctors who practice. With those few remarks, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support that this Motion be passed by this House in order to devolve the functions of the KMPDB and, therefore, make them more responsive to the public on the ground."
