"content": "Hon. Temporary Chairman, the reason as to why I propose this amendment is for the help of everybody who wants surrogacy because this is what this Bill is all about. I start by clarifying that in some jurisdictions, it is called Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill while in others, it is merely called Assisted Reproduction Bill. In several others, it is just called Surrogacy Bill. There is nothing new. This is what surrogacy is all about. This clause proposes the establishment of a directorate. Looking at the Health Act 2017, the directorate, in terms of the proposed functions which we will see later, is largely to license the medics who will be involved in that practice and also the surrogacy clinics providing procedures for surrogacy. It offers supervision. I appeared before the Committee and I said we already have a body in that Act called the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council, which does all that. So, I propose to delete Clause 5 so that there is no need to create a directorate. In later provisions, those roles will all be falling under the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Council, which is already a statutory body with that mandate."

"content": "I add, beyond that rationale, that if we pass a law such as this one, we need to remember the position the Attorney-General took during public participation. They are waiting to come up with a public policy on the matter. My fear is that if we send it back to the Cabinet Secretary with the position the Government has already taken, we will have an Act of Parliament for which there will be no framework even in terms of that proposed directorate. With the position they have taken, they will hesitate to establish it. For cleanliness, let us make a law that will enable the provision of services to Kenyans who cannot naturally conceive and deliver without creating directorates to do things for which we already have statutory bodies duly established and properly run. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman."
