    "content": "Another issue that I wanted to mention is that we have something called professional points in many professional bodies. When this Institute is in place, some people will be too old and things will have changed. They must be encouraged to go for continuous training. We have people who practised law a long time ago and law has been changing. So, unless there is continuous training, you will be outdated. This must be encouraged in any profession, for example, in the medical practice. The way malaria was managed in the 1960s is not the same today. Things have changed. The way malaria is being managed today is different from how it was managed in the 1980s. It is very important for professionals to go through continuous training to update their skills on the latest technological advancement. This Bill is going to help. When you look around, we have good boards of directors. These are gurus. Every corporate organisation wants so and so to be on their board just because their trend has been demonstrated as being good corporate managers. An example is somebody like Manu Chandaria. Having been a consultant to some of the series of Manu Chandaria’s group of companies, he is an old man who believes in professionalism. Any good organisation is looking for Manu Chandaria to be on their board. Another one is Michael Joseph. When he was the CEO of Safaricom, Safaricom made abnormal profits because of the strategies that they put in place. You realise that any company that is going down wants to get a Michael Joseph because he has demonstrated his expertise in aspects of corporate governance. When it comes to the organogram of any organisation, at the top strategic level, we are looking at leadership. We are not looking at technical expertise. Technical expertise will come in at the operational level. That is why we have been saying that you can be a CEO of Kenyatta National Hospital, not necessarily because you are a medical doctor. In top decision-making positions, you provide leadership. You provide issues of teamwork and transformational leadership that is likely to impact positively on all kinds of forces that work with you.
