Madam Minister, let me guide you a bit. Be clear you had indicated that if Dr. Monda’s amendment is carried through, you would be withdrawing yours. Therefore, it does not add up if you are opposing it now. We are on Clause 8. I will give you a few minutes just to familiarize yourself because the Order Paper indicates that you have indicated that if Dr. Monda’s amendment is carried, yours will be dropped. That is the message you have sent to the Chair.

Madam Minister, if Dr. Monda’s amendment is carried, it deletes so yours becomes redundant; there will be nothing because it will have been deleted. Let us take a decision on the proposed amendment by Dr. Monda then the rest will fall in place.

Mrs. Shebesh, please, go on with your contribution. That is not a valid point of order, Mr. Mureithi.

I overruled hon. Mureithi. I am going to disallow that because it is not a point of order.

Hon. Members, I think it is important that we understand the purport of the amendments. Hon. Dr. Monda, please, read Clause 8. What does it say? It begins by saying, “A health worker or proprietor shall not – (a) accept from a manufacturer or distributor of a designated or complementary food product- (i) a gift; (ii) financial assistance; (iii) fellowship, scholarship, research grant, study tour, funding for meetings and conferences, seminars or continuing education courses; or (iv) sample of a designated or complementary food product---” That is what the clause is providing. Now, what does your Committee intend to do ...

Let us go together on part “a”. It reads thus: “A health worker or proprietor shall not accept---” What is your intention with that provision. Why do you want to amend it and to what end? Dr. Eseli, what is your point of order on that one?

Order, Members! You will all have an opportunity to speak, but it is good that Members debate knowing what they are debating. Therefore, if you have a valid point of order, raise it. But if you just want to contribute, just go on the queue and I will give you a chance, as I am now doing with hon. Karua, who is next. Hon. Githae was actually interrupted when he was on a point of order. Finish, Minister!
