    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill and I want to congratulate the Departmental Committee on Health for having looked at the important issues that are relevant to streamlining this profession. As we go forward, it is important that we must remember that we are a sporting nation and our youths in schools encounter injuries. It will be important for them to be addressed by people who are professionally qualified. In the rural areas, it is very difficult to access qualified people to do physiotherapy. In line with what we have discussed, it is my hope that we will streamline this profession so that every Kenyan can access this service from wherever they are. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is good that now we will separate the confusion that has been there between massage and physiotherapy. I know there are many people who go for massage thinking that they are going for physiotherapy. Sometimes, there is confusion because there is no clear identification as to who is qualified to do what. So, I am happy that we finally have something that we can rely on and develop this profession further. I support."
