In (c) we have a further amendment because of something that we missed out. “(c) holds a master’s degree in medical laboratory science or pathology and management from a recognised university;” Instead of a degree we now have a master’s degree in medical laboratory science or pathology and management from a recognised university. The justification is that noting the specialised nature of blood transfusion services, the amendment seeks to ensure the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the service shall be a person with relevant qualifications to effectively discharge their functions under this Act.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with Hon. Pukose’s amendment. This is just a clean-up but the spirit is to have a master’s degree in medical laboratory science or master’s degree in pathology and management course from a recognised institution.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady and thank you, Hon. Kajwang’. I actually moved and said I have a further amendment. That is noted. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be deleted. This is a deletion of the position of a medical director which is not in tandem with the Health Act No. 21 of 2017 as it is not feasible. That is why we decided to amend it. The main objective of the Service is to avail to the Kenyan population adequate and safe blood and not creating a structure that may create unnecessary bottlenecks. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal and the Leader of the Majority Party have put it well for the comfort of Hon. (Dr.) Eseli Simiyu. That is why I did a further amendment. It was to make sure that the CEO is actually a professional so that when it comes to appointment of any other person who might be needed within the Board, the CEO will act professionally. We made sure that the CEO will be a health professional.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT Clause 14 of the Bill be deleted. This is a follow-up of Clause 13 because Clause 14 was giving the functions of the medical director. So, the justification is as per Clause 13.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I move: THAT, Clause 22 (2) of the Bill be amended in paragraph (e) by inserting the words “payment of compensation on claims resulting from adverse reaction after blood donation” immediately after the words “or equipment.” This amendment seeks to provide that the annual estimates shall include allocation for payment of compensation and claims resulting from adverse reaction after blood donation.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I move: THAT, Clause 35 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new Subsection immediately after Subsection (3) − “(4) A person who donates blood under this section shall be provided with a blood donor certificate as proof of having donated blood.” This amendment seeks to ensure that any person who participates in donating blood shall be issued with a certificate which shall be used to serve as evidence that he has donated blood. I thank you.
