"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I thank Hon. Duale for this because it had brought a lot of concern. Some of us received a lot of petitions from pharmacists that we represent in our respective areas of jurisdiction. The pharmacist has done a degree, but a pharmaceutical technologist has done a diploma. When it comes to their functions, they must be distinct because they have different expertise. As we said earlier, it is important that as we legislate, we do so objectively. Some cadres can have advantage of being represented here, but that does not mean that you push your interest at the expense of another cadre that maybe, one way or another, is not represented here. After we did this, the outcry was so much. So, it is, indeed important. When it comes to matters of pharmacy, it is like life and death. So, that distinction has to be there. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party and the Chair, Hon. Sabina Chege, for bringing that clarity for purposes of posterity. I support."
