I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended - (a) In subsection (1) of the proposed new section 3A, by further amending the proposed amendment by deleting the words “with a degree in medicine” appearing in paragraph (i); This amendment is necessary to remove the error previously providing that the chairperson of the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council must be a specialist medical or dental practitioner with a degree in medicine. Since the amendment in Section 2 of the Act now provides for the definition of a specialist medical practitioner or dentist as a person who has completed post-graduate training in medicine or dentistry, it will be sufficient to have the qualification of the chairperson simply as a specialist – a medical or dental practitioner of good standing."}
