    "content": "One issue I will speak to even in my Statement today is the fact that we are not using means such as radio to advance the course of giving information on issues like mental health. Mental health has become a serious issue. There is the feeling that we are not doing enough as a nation in creating awareness and fighting stigma by telling Kenyans where they can get access. Radio is a means and a tool that is easily accessible and less costly for Government to use send out this information the same they would use it for issues of voting, et cetera . The same avenue can be used to create the required awareness to help tackle the rising mental health issues. The same avenue was used to fight HIV/AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s. A government can use these mechanisms. Thank you, again Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for that Statement. As I wind up, let us call for responsible journalism in the radio industry. In this election period, let us not use radio in any negative way that will affect the lives of citizens. Let us all be conscious of that. As we go out to send our messages as leaders, let us not use radio in any negative way."
