24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, we must first deal with our House. The House should show an example to county assemblies. County assemblies should look at the National Assembly directly and not at the Senate because we have more work we do together. They oversee, represent and make laws.

When the referendum questions are written, Hon. Junet and I have two questions which we have discussed. They are questions that must appear on the referendum paper if at all we have to save Kenya against wastage in terms of resources.

Hon. Pukose cannot intimidate us. I support the amendment by the Chair for the single reason that the membership of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board is inclusive of various relevant stakeholders, generally when you look at the health sector. It is good to provide for the qualification of the chairperson. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

Hon. Pukose, I really want to indulge you because we have a busy day this afternoon. I want to ask you to drop that. In legislation, when you use “shall”, that is mandatory. If you look at the functions of this board, you must give them discretion. When you say “shall”, even the timelines will be “shall”. In legislation, we use “shall” only in very few cases. Let us have “may”. I oppose.

It is not about putting the Question. I think the input of the Chair’s amendment makes a lot of sense. In the health sector, there are certain institutions where people have been sitting there as board members for more than 15 years. What we are now saying is that for you to be a board member of any of the institutions under the health sector, you are only eligible for three years renewable once. After six years, you pack and go. For the CEO, it is four years and based on his performance, it is renewable for another four years. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to ask Hon. Makau to drop this amendment. This story of master’s degree, there are many young competent Kenyans with first degrees. Holding a master’s degree administratively will be used as an added advantage, but let us not legislate it. It does not lock you out. We did it last week when we were handling the Pensions Fund.

If you hold a master’s degree or PhD, it is an added advantage during interviews. So, let us put in law the basic requirement as that of first degree in the relevant field. Hon. Makau, you are my friend, please, drop this amendment. This afternoon, we want consensus. We do not want anybody to lose an amendment.

I think this amendment is very important to the holder of a diploma from a college. Currently, there is mushrooming of colleges. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can open a college. There is discretion given to the board to ensure that a holder must attain that diploma from a college approved by the board. For him or her to hold licence to operate a drug store that sells pharmaceutical products.

I thank the Chair. There are two actions in this law. One is to seize and close premises. Based on Article 40 of the Constitution on the right to property and assets, the board has no right to seize products, but they have the right to close premises. That is the import of that amendment. I support the amendment.
