    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First of all, I would wish to congratulate my brother, hon. Sang, for bringing this Bill. I have had opportunity to run through the Bill. I think it is addressing a very important section in the practice of medicine in our country. I am encouraged by the preamble that has been set out in this Bill; which is a proposal that the Parliament of the people of Kenya makes the provision for the training, registration and licensing of physiotherapists to regulate the practice. Parliament should also provide for the establishment of powers and functions of a council for connected purposes in the administration of the Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have looked at the Bill and I would like to say that physiotherapy has emerged as a major and an integral branch of treatment and management of various ailments and conditions that afflict Kenyans in this country. It is a good means of managing ailments because it is non-intrusive. It is also worth noting that it is also an area where all manner of shallow turns and other medical masqueraders have quickly invaded with their eyes squarely fixed upon making quick money."
