Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, these particular amendments are clarifying the meaning of the terms used in the Bill. The Act that we are amending does not contain provisions for e-medicine. The Departmental Committee Chair is trying to include e- health and e-medicine in the definitions as well as alternative medicine.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the nomination and appointment of Dr. Mwinzi. She is qualified as you can see from her curriculum vitae. She got Division I.

We believe when she is confirmed to the position of a PS, she is going to assist the country to push forward technical trainings ...
