    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I join my colleagues in congratulating mheshimiwa Sang for bringing this Motion that is quite timely and is geared towards bringing sanity in this very critical area; the sector of health. It is important to note that this is a life-saving way in which health can be administered in this country. I support this Bill wholesome because it will enhance standards in this physiotherapy profession. By ensuring that training and practice is regulated as is indicated in Part II, it means that there will be professional conduct in terms of skills and what is being administered. It will also enhance professional discipline at the same time. This is an area that involves the use of life-saving skills. All Kenyans need to be wary in terms of how it is supposed to be administered. I also support this Bill because it deals with impunity when it comes to professional negligence. This Bill has provided mechanisms of dealing with the issue of discipline with regard to all persons practising physiotherapy. By forming the body the Bill is proposing, we will be ensuring that this country handles physiotherapy in a professional way. There are so many accidents that occur in this country and physiotherapy is a critical component of saving life. We need to support this Bill so that it goes through and we bring sanity to whatever is being done. As legislators, we need to look at the interests of physiotherapists. Let us look at the composition of this professional body and how it is supposed to execute its mandate – it is well structured in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
