(Ms.) Sabina Chege","speaker":{"id":884,"legal_name":"Sabina Wanjiru Chege","slug":"sabina-wanjiru-chege"},"content":" I have said this amendment is 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 amended 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."}
