"content": "We have the case of Ms. Kangogo. I honestly do not belief that the girl committed suicide. This is because there has been no evidence whatsoever that she shot those two men they keep talking about. If she did, the police in the country are efficient if they want to. They would have arrested that girl, prosecuted her and the truth would have come out as to who killed the policeman in Nakuru and the businessman in Ruiru. Nobody knows. However, they behaved like General Joseph Goebbels of Hitler where you say a lie so many times that it becomes to look like the truth and it becomes the truth. That is what we were treated to in the case Ms. Kangogo. We were told she shot herself. How do you shoot and hood yourself and sit with your legs straight and crossed with your hand on the gun? These people are talking to people like us who have studied forensic medicine at very high levels. When you shoot yourself the violence that is emitted from the gun cannot put you sitting down there with your legs straight. We need serious attention to these issues. We need the country to come to terms with the fact that mental health is a serious challenge in Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, children are hanging themselves. Pressure from homework alone is costing lives. I know some close people to me who would send you a message and say my friend if you do not send me something today, I am likely to take my life because I cannot face my family. The nature of a man as head of the family like young Sen. Cherargei, I do not know if he is now married. When you go home and you cannot bring a packet of unga and milk and your wife is there with the child staring at you crying, your wife starts teasing you whether you are a man or not. The weak ones will take their lives and that is what is happening."
