Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, save for the fact that the Statement has taken about five months to be delivered, I wish to appreciate and commend the Chair for this Statement. I seek one clarification. Does the Government have any plans to recruit local people as officers from the respective locations or divisions so as to avoid this kind of mix up in future?

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. From the outset, I would wish to support this Bill and congratulate hon. Millie for it. Our own Constitution, Article 48, provides for access to justice. If you read that Article you will realize it talks of justice to all. All along, we have had only justice given to arrested persons. It has not been the case where we have had complainants being taken care of. I am happy with this particular Bill; we are going to see a situation where victims are actually going to be taken care of and ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to be the first beneficiary of your generosity. From the outset, I wish to declare that I support this Bill and it is for two very important reasons. This Bill addresses the issue of benefits and the roles of the entitled persons, which are advisory and consultative. So much has been said about benefits and I would, therefore, address myself to the issue of the consultative role. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ...

Clause 8 of this Bill envisages a situation where the entitled person will provide a consultative and advisory role to the Government. Considering the fact that governance and issues of governance change – they bring along with them challenges and experiences – these retired entitled persons will equally have an opportunity to advise Government and other institutions on issues of governance and how affairs are supposed to be conducted at their respective levels. This is important considering the fact that we now have the county governments in place. With all these noble roles being taken by these people, it is ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. I wish, from the outset, to support this Bill and congratulate Hon. Sang. This is a very progressive Bill. Very fundamental issues come out, that the establishment of the Physiotherapy Council of Kenya will ensure that the three issues; training, registration and practice are anchored in this Bill. The necessity for training cannot be overemphasized. If you look at Section 4 of this Bill, it provides for continuous professional training which is important for physiotherapists for the simple reason that it will enable them cope and face new challenges. For every ...

I also wish to say that this Bill is progressive in the sense that it brings harmonization. It provides an opportunity for those who train outside the country, once they come back, to get an opportunity to get registered and practise it here. I equally agree with what the previous speaker has said that for those who train in Kenya, apparently we are giving them another year which is not proper because I thought it should be the reverse; that those who train in Kenya get six months and those who train outside Kenya get the 12 months. This is ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c) I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the alteration of administrative units and national identification card entries in Kaloleni Constituency. Hon. Speaker, indeed, for so many years and further pursuant to the National Government Coordination Act 2013, two administrative units; Jibana and Chanagande locations have been within Kaloleni Ward, Kaloleni Constituency. However, in the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics computer list, 2013 for Coast, Jibana and Chanagande locations have been placed within Mwanamwinga Division and the national ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, I would like to thank hon. Wamunyinyi for bringing this Bill before the House. Again, I wish to declare that I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health. This Bill has been deliberated on by that Committee. As hon. Kibunguchy has put it, there are several clauses that will require some amendments.

Having said that, I would like to support this Bill. There is need to regulate any profession. It is hard to find a profession doing business without regulation. You cannot practise a profession in a vacuum. We have seen, for example, that the legal profession has a disciplinary committee. We realize that the profession is going on well.
