    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support this very important Bill, which has been tabled by our brother. You can see what is currently happening in this country. Doctors have been on strike for more than 75 days. No health services are being offered at the local level. Kenyans are suffering. The Clinical Officers (Training, Registration and Licensing) Bill will go a long way to address some of the issues that would cause doctors and nurses to go on strike. It is so sad that a clinical officer goes through some training and cannot practise privately because there is no provision in law. This will go a long way to address some medical issues more so, as it is now, with the doctors’ strike and innocent Kenyans are suffering. Clause 2 uses the words “approved training institute”. It is important we define “approved training institute”. These days, business people have realised that there is a lot of money to be made in training institutes. Everybody has now gone to the business of opening institutes which do not have rooms and equipment for practical lessons. Before a training institute is registered to start admitting students, it must be checked and approved so that we do not just have places where you go to spend a lot of money and at the end of the day, there is no change. It is important for us to define “approved training institute” in the Bill during the Committee of the whole House."
