    "content": "What basically interests me in this Bill is the creation of an institute. If you look at Clause 15 of the Bill, you will find that it seeks to create an institute which will be in charge of, amongst other things, licensing and training. For progression of the profession, there will be need for continuous training. People must continue to train, so that licensing can be easy and the profession can progress. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the second schedule to the proposed Bill, you will realize that there is an examination committee, registration committee, continuing education committee and, most importantly, a disciplinary committee. We must emphasize that so many of these professions we have seen around--- In the absence of any regulation, there are people who masquerade and actually make a lot of money out of professions they do not belong to. Therefore, if this Bill sails through, and it is my hope that it will sail through, I am sure the provisions under the disciplinary committee and other committees that have been proposed will take care of that. They will rein in these people who masquerade as psychologists; I believe Kenyans will enjoy the benefits of this Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also wish to touch on the fact that the functions of the institute are set out under Clause 18 of this particular Bill. They create a situation where members of the public will be entitled to information about the services The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
