    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will bring a Bill to regulate social work so that we know who is an accredited social worker. This will make a person not to get out of his house, go to a college on top of a bar somewhere and then be given one month’s training called social work and then he leaves and requests to be hired as a social worker. Social work is a profession just like any other. Just like doctors have the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board, clinical officers have their board and engineers have their law, social workers must also have a law that regulates them, so that the Government can hire them in some of these facilities. As we talk about mental health, we have been talking about depression and people killing their spouses. There must be people within our communities and schools who can sense that a child is going through a difficult path. We cannot expect teachers to do all that work. It is high time we dealt with the issue of social work, regulate it and have a Bill that talks about social work."
