    "content": "These are the critical questions we need to ask as a House and see how we can balance them. But at the end of the day, ensure that Kenyans benefit out of those important services. As it has been said, many a times you hear of cancer patients being referred to Kenyatta National Hospital and while there, they get into a queue which last for ten months. If you go and join a queue, it takes ten months for you to get access to that machine. That becomes a very tricky situation because we want our people to have that equipment bought so that these biomedical engineers can be employed in this country to help us get the very important machines always operating. However, there are all those other questions. Therefore, we will be proposing some amendments to this Bill to ensure that it helps Kenyans. But at the same time, it does not raise issues which go against the Constitution. As we move forward, these are some of the issues Hon. Mule needs to consider. The issue of bringing a member from the Association of Engineers to sit on this Board will be important in terms of synergy. That is because they will think together and see how they will help the Board. However, where the number is less than 300 in the whole country, it would be a critical issue which we cannot ignore as we think about forming the board. Generally, this is an important Bill which can go a long way in helping this country; especially when we are talking about leasing of medical equipment. So, with those comments, I support this Bill. Thank you."
