    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill; the Biomedical Engineers’ Bill. I would like to seize this opportunity to congratulate the Mover of this Bill, Hon. Mule. At the outset, I would like to say that this Bill is very important because the structures proposed in it will definitely bring a lot of sanity in this field. As we are aware, this industry has been riddled with a lot of people who are not professionals and they behave like quacks. Therefore, this Bill will cure those types of people who practice in this industry and they are not qualified. The Bill has looked at the registration of professionals and I believe the qualifications have been clearly set out in the Bill. They will be regulated by this Bill and they will practice professionally. Part 13 of this Bill sets out provisions of approving training institutions. These provisions also set out penalties to people who would contravene that particular law. So, the Bill will ensure that training institutions are well regulated and practice as per the law. This Bill and its passage will significantly streamline the health sector. In Kenya, the quality of health care is very important and must be maintained. If this Bill will bring that kind of sanity in streamlining and improving the health sector, with those kinds of professionals, people who seek medical attention outside the country will be treated in this country. Therefore, this Bill is very timely and will improve and streamline the health sector. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
