    "content": "I remember the day we did our first public participation; the Committee was overwhelmed by the number of submissions. For that, I thank all the people out there who presented their views and felt their voices needed to be heard. It was important that they be heard and they were included. I also thank the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Caucus of Parliament headed by Hon. (Dr.) Ochanda of the National Assembly. This Caucus helped with introducing mental health to the National Assembly and training Members of Parliament (MPs) on it. In fact, the engagements of the SDG caucus went into county assemblies as well, speaking on mental health. This was really wonderful. It finally ended up in the East African Community (EAC) Parliament where the deliberations on mental health were going to start. I thank Dr. Frank Njenga, the Presidential Advisor on mental health. He played a critical role of mediating between what the Department of Mental Health in the Ministry of Health wanted included in the Bill; and the Senate, represented by myself and the legal counsel."
