Most countries that have this cadre have instruments where this kind of cadre is regulated. It is ...

council is stipulated. The functions of the council are also well proscribed. I know once the council members work within the prescription of the functions of the council, occupational therapists, wherever they are, will offer proper service to Kenyans. The tenure of office is also captured. This is well stipulated, so that the council members do not overstay as I have seen with other board members.
