    "content": "The Member for Makadara, Hon. Aladwa, now you may have to stay for a few more minutes. Hon. Members, before the House proceeds to Order No.10, being the Committee of the whole House on the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018, I wish to give a Communication regarding the consideration of the Bill. Firstly, I have received a letter from the Leader of the Majority Party, who is the sponsor of the said Bill, conveying his wish to withdraw amendments relating to four statutes proposed for amendment by way of the Bill. Specifically, the Leader of the Majority Party has sought my consent to withdraw, at this stage, all amendments as published in the Bill relating to the Radiation Protection Act (Cap 243); Food, Drugs and Chemical Substances Act (Cap 254); the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No. 4 of 1994; and, some aspects of the Pharmacy and Poisons Act (Cap 244). With regard to the first three legislations, that is the Radiation Protection Act (Cap 243); Food, Drugs and Chemical Substances Act (Cap 254) and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No.4 of 1994, the sponsor of the Bill notes that the reason for withdrawing the amendments is that they will be included in respective separate Bills which are to be introduced and considered at a later date. As for the fourth statute, that is, Pharmacy and Poisons Act (Cap 244), the Leader of the Majority Party wishes to withdraw amendments relating to granting, marketing authorisation (Section 25A) and establishment of National Quality Control Laboratory as a body corporate. This relates to the proposed amendments to sections 35A, 35B, 35C, 35D 35E, 35F, 35G, 35H, 35I, 35J and 35K of the principal Act. The justification for withdrawal is that they are now to await the finalisation of the Kenya Food and Authority legislation but the House may proceed to consider other aspects of the proposed amendments to the said statute as published in the Bill. Hon. Members, having considered the request from the Leader of the Majority Party, I have consented to the total withdrawal of the amendments to the first three statutes, that is, the Radiation Protection Act (Cap 243), Food, Drugs and Chemical Substances Act (Cap 254) and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No.4 of 1994.
