    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. May I also join my colleagues in congratulating mheshimiwa Sang for coming up with this Bill. As you have heard, physiotherapists--- We are living in a world where there are many accidents, lifestyle diseases and so on. Physiotherapy, as a branch in the medical profession, comes in extremely handy for people who have had accidents, strokes or those who are born with certain disabilities. This Bill is bringing sanity to the profession of physiotherapy. We have had physiotherapists in this country for a long time and sometimes it is not easy to know the genuine and well-trained physiotherapists. This Bill is to ensure that standards are upheld and training programmes are clear. That way, whichever institution that would like to train will be compelled to have very clear guidelines as to what to do. The Bill brings in quality of training and also regulation. Subsequently, it aims at registration of these physiotherapists. When you visit a physiotherapist, you will now be confident that he or she is properly trained and registered to offer the service. I heard what my colleagues said about financing. Being a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health, I believe we are going to take that into consideration and then come up with a number of amendments to the Bill. Overall, it is a good Bill. It is a good starting point. I wholeheartedly support it."
