    "content": "I also wish to say that this Bill is progressive in the sense that it brings harmonization. It provides an opportunity for those who train outside the country, once they come back, to get an opportunity to get registered and practise it here. I equally agree with what the previous speaker has said that for those who train in Kenya, apparently we are giving them another year which is not proper because I thought it should be the reverse; that those who train in Kenya get six months and those who train outside Kenya get the 12 months. This is quite important in the sense that it will encourage most of our people to train in the country. What is equally important is the provision of matters to do with disciplinary matters; the establishment of the disciplinary committee. We realize that you cannot have a profession without instilling disciplinary measures. In this Bill in Section 29, the issues of negligence and professional misconduct are going to be addressed by the disciplinary committee. This is a very important provision and I believe this will ensure that people practise within the right provisions of the profession. But as we look at all these, it is important to appreciate that there are those who do this business by virtue of experience but when I look at this Bill, I realize it has put in more emphasis on formal training. There is need to look for a way in which we can accommodate experience. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
