    "content": "For your information, I know a good number of Kenyans have been transporting materials weighing beyond 50 kilogrammes. We have seen this in Gikomba, Litein and across the country; very young energetic Kenyans transport materials that are very heavy. I know this is causing many problems, as Hon. Tiren has rightly pointed out. About 20 per cent of back pain is caused by this particular work. I know Hon. Tiren in his wisdom came up with maximum weight that young Kenyans are supposed to be carrying to safeguard their health. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, he had quoted one of these occupational therapists and I want to confirm today that there is a Bill that is coming up, which I am sponsoring on occupational therapy. The founder of occupational therapy, a man called Bernardino Ramazzini, published a book in the 1600s which said that the manual handling of objects accounted for 20 to 25 per cent of all occupational injuries and has exceeded motor vehicle accidents as a cost of loss of work time and associated monetary costs. I know Hon. Tiren in his wisdom knew that at least we need to safeguard young people who are doing manual jobs."
