    "content": "They go there in the hope that when they come back, they will be useful to themselves, their families and to the people of Kenya. Many times when they come back, there are queries as to whether their qualifications meet the standards of this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, equally, this country is growing fast and many universities are coming up and all of them are allowed by law to start courses and train people who believe they will be useful to themselves, their families and the country. Many times, people have had to undergo some training or remedial training so that they meet our own standards. As much as people suffer that way, it is also important to protect the public because again we have very many quacks who want to get into all sorts of practices. Therefore, I think it is extremely important that we have a regulatory authority that will look into all the qualifications that come into the country. I believe that this authority must have power to look at the requirements of entry and training before a qualification is recognised. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill seeks to protect the public so that whoever claims to own certain qualifications or skills does actually own them and also it protects the people who have acquired education in a very expensive way so that they benefit from their efforts. With that, I support this Bill."
