    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill by Hon. Joshua Kivinda Kimilu. I have gone through the Bill and I wish to express my support for it in the shortest possible time. I am a son of a volunteer worker who served the public voluntarily for 40 years, when he was alive. I support the idea of social work and, perhaps, the distinction being that a volunteer need not be paid. However, it might bring in the element of pay once we use the term ‘social work.’ I have gone through the Bill. I think it needs some fine-tuning around the definition of social work, registration of a social worker, the institute for social work, and the offences. Particularly, the definition needs to be shielded from other areas that are sometimes described as ‘social work.’ People sometimes loosely call the oldest profession, which is sex work, ‘social work.’ Sex workers are sometimes loosely referred to as social workers. We must shield and ring-fence the definition in such a way that there is no possibility of such confusion 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."
