    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support the Statement my Sen. Kasanga. I commend the Government for the reforms in the mental illness sector in order to improve the lives of mental patients and their families. Many families have been mentally affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. If we allocate more resources, budget and prioritise activities of mental illness, then we shall save those affected and their families. Currently, we are seeing a rise in insecurity. Many crimes are being committed. If you investigate further, you will find that many people are suffering in silence from psychosocial depression. I support Sen. Kasanga and ask that we come up with more policies and amendments to press the Government to see the importance of prioritizing mental illness in this country. Therefore, let us have necessary budgets to support the health sector."
