• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for giving me this opportunity. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: This is a very important Authority to have. I would like to give an example of yesterday when we passed a Bill by Hon. Neto. The Bill will establish a board for people who have trained in keeping medical records, nursing, clinical medicine and other cadres within the health sector. The board will include all of them because health is unitary. You cannot treat health as each of the cadres. You need one unitary Authority that puts all of them together, so that they are regulated. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The purpose of this board is to ensure that we have quality health care since health concerns life. Some of the regulatory bodies deal with quality of commodities. Those commodities have to be checked by an Authority. Other Authorities deal with service provision. We have varios categories of nurses and doctors covered by such regulatory Authorities. It is a matter of life and death. The board will deal with control of quality of health care. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support the further amendment by Hon. Midiwo. Yes, we can have a representative of the CoGs. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady for giving me this opportunity. I have consulted with Hon. Kaluma and removing the Cabinet Secretary and Director-General makes it difficult for the Authority to operate. Since we are making laws for posterity, it is important for us to look at the way the Ministry operates. There is a Cabinet Secretary, a Principal Secretary and a Director-General, who must understand all the activities of the oversight body. I was pleading with the Member to drop his proposed amendment. view

This concerns the powers of the board and it has been redrafted to give expanded set of power to enable the Authority to effectively implement its mandate. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree that the provision on the funds of the Authority cannot be deleted. This provision was in the original draft Bill that we are amending. It is a very important part. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much for giving us that opportunity to consult. I propose to amend the Clause such that Clause 29(a) deals with the powers of the Authority. The redrafting has been made to ensure that the Authority has been given powers to expedite its work. Clause 29(b) will take care of the funds of the Authority. view

I would like to stick to the original amendment as per the Order Paper. The matter that has been raised by the Member is taken care of in the next amendment. view
