    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Firstly, I want to congratulate the Member for coming up with this very important Bill. If you look at it, you will realise that it aims to stimulate the social work sector. That will encourage the young people to join that profession. Other professionals like lawyers and bankers have bodies that regulate and help to grow. This Bill will promote professional development and growth of social workers so that they can maintain professional standards in that sector. It will help in creating policies that will advance development. It will also aid in scrutinising Government policies to ensure that they support social workers. In this country, we have witnessed unrests in our learning institutions like secondary schools and universities. Once this Bill becomes law, those professionals will help that sector by ensuring that there are minimal unrests, especially in the education sector, so that things can run in a well-guided manner. This Bill is key in unifying social work professionals, strengthen their practise, promote development of social work standards and advocate for social policies that will advance social justice and human rights. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. With those remarks, I support."
