    "content": "work and also have refresher courses that are regulated by their Institute. This will ensure that no one is exploited because those are lowly people who are exposed to exploitation. Some rogue people can get into the profession and pretend to be qualified and, in the process, mistreat the people they are supposed to assist. This Bill would, therefore, ensure that there are regulations, follow-ups and proper training for anyone claiming to be a social worker. This will ensure that our people are well taken care of and social workers are remunerated. If they receive proper pay, they will not be tempted to ask for money from those they assist. Social workers in developed countries, especially those in the health sector, are highly paid and recognised. That profession is recognised as crucial; thus, they are well remunerated and regulated. This Bill will help us improve the profession and reduce suffering among our people. Social workers deal with issues such as disabilities and encourage the sick, especially those with Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV), to take their anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs). That is because some people do not see the need to do so. If they do not take their ARVs, their lives are shortened. Social workers should be recognised by a body that will have checks and balances, so as to regulate and supervise what they do."
