Point noted, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will take the minimum time possible. I commend the President for coming up with this State of the Nation Address, especially on security. He went out of his way to spell out almost each and every sphere of this country and where we need to address. He has done his constitutional job. Unfortunately, when this information comes to the public domain or for implementation, it is the implementing machinery of this country that has failed this country. At the end of the day, we end up in blame game. We end up in blaming ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. As has been mentioned by the Mover, this Bill seeks to amend several existing Acts which were enacted a long time ago. It is a document which seeks to enrich the existing laws. I believe laws should be changed once in a while because some of them are normally overtaken by events, given the changing times and trends. In that case, it is important to do away with irrelevant laws or amend them so that they can conform to the constitutional demands. The Bill is meant ...

they are sick. Some of them have even died out there. It is hard for them to plead for support from their country. They do not have air tickets to get back home. They end up languishing in poverty in foreign countries. There should be funds for bringing back victims of such circumstances, and even taking them to hospital in case they need medical attention. Any assistance required should be easily provided. There are agents who lie to our youth that they will connect them to lucrative jobs, but they end up there as house girls. Some have even been ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First and foremost, let me thank my colleague, Hon. Sang, for having thought about it and brought it to this House. I also thank the members who have talked before me because they have been supporting the Bill. I have also stood up to support the same. Clinical officers are known to be the call of our medical practitioners. They are known deep in the villages. Many people do not know they are called clinical officers. They call them doctors in the villages and ...

they are given the job, they mess around and do not do the correct thing. They should, therefore, be vetted properly and an in-house examination administered to determine whether they are qualified for the job. This will get rid of quacks and save us the fear of getting somebody being treated by an unqualified medical practitioner. On the issue of inspection of premises, if you go to the countryside, you will find that clinics have been opened somewhere. The conditions of those clinics are filthy and do not qualify to be clinics. This is the case and yet you will ...

Most of these clinical officers come from KMTC. The KMTC are not well equipped, particularly those in smaller towns in this country. We need more funding for these important institutions. We need more clinical officers than doctors. Some of the communicable diseases we have end at that level. Let us get proper facilities for the training of these very important members of our society. The clinical officers also need continuous retraining. As it has been said before, new diseases emerge every other day. Some of them are so complicated that they can beat the reasoning of many doctors, such as ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the proposal by the Vice-Chairman of the Committee. PTAs are very important organisations in learning institutions. Their composition should be all inclusive. All stakeholders should be involved in getting these PTAs. It is because they are the people who run and, own the schools.

I support the Vice-Chair because identification is a very important document and we should cover all forms of identification. Even small children have passports. I agree with the Vice-Chair that this needs to be included. I support.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Let me take the initial initiative to thank my colleague, Hon. Abdinoor Mohamed, for coming up with this idea. When you come to this Parliament, each and everybody comes from different parts of this country and they know the problems which bedevil their communities. Hon. Abdinoor, really, had taken quite a thought because he has gone through what is happening today in the livestock industry. This Bill is timely in that we have got so many boards in this country which are ...
