This one is inserting a new paragraph immediately after paragraph (e) to exercise any of the functions specified in section 20(1)(e) of the principal Act. This, again, is in line with the first amendment we did to section 2 of the Act in terms of tidying up the definition of a university to also give those universities that have interim letters of authority the same mandate as those that already have a charter.

One clarification, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Indeed, what Members are saying has a lot of relevance to the question of an interim letter of authority. However, it must not be lost on us that the letters of interim authority are only for a limited period of time. I think it is about a year or two years. Therefore, for that university they can give courses and award certificates, degrees and diplomas until the Commission for University Education finds reasons not to award them a charter. If they are not awarded a charter, they either have to renew their interim letter ...

amendments, the owner of the amendments, who in this case is the Leader of the Majority Party, must agree to a further amendment on his amendment. Hon. Kioni had all rights just like the Leader of the Majority Party to ask for recommital and propose his own amendments. Honestly, I do not agree with Hon. Kioni’s reading of the text as it is here. It is quite clear that it means a holder of a Degree in Pharmacy from a training institution which is recognised by the board. The import of this, Hon. Kioni, is that we know there are ...

Finally, I have seen a lot of lobbying on this issue, but what has taken me aback, especially on the issue of pharmacists, is that all the people who are lobbying Members of Parliament on this particular Bill, nobody is lobbying on issues that touch on ordinary Kenyans. People are lobbying based on business interests. Therefore, I want to say that, as a Member of Parliament, I have an obligation to the people I represent, mor eso on their healthcare. Pharmaceuticals are not things to joke around with. The prevalence of cancer in this country is because at times we ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support, especially the further amendment in having it end at the word “Authority”. What the Leader of the Majority Party has said is actually what is happening today in this country. If you go to KEMSA today, and those who sit in the Departmental Committee on Health and the Public Investments Committee (PIC) will be able to tell you, there are a lot of drugs that are expiring there. At the same time, the same drugs are procured from commercial entities by our county governments and other hospitals in our national ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. As you have rightly said, this is in relation to Order No.12, when we move to the Committee of the whole House to consider the Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill, (Senate Bill No.4 of 2017). Regarding the amendments proposed by the Committee, particularly the amendment that was proposed immediately after Clause 18, New Section 49 of the principal Act, and New Clauses 49A, 49B and 49C, we have consulted with the Chair of the relevant Departmental Committee and we have agreed with him. The Chair may concur with me because this ...
