I rise to support the very good Motion before the House. I have not had an opportunity to contribute when you are the Speaker. I take this first instance to congratulate you. You have been doing very well and I am proud that students from my school are doing very well. I congratulate you. This is a very well-thought-out Motion. I congratulate Sen. Kibwana. Mothers are beautiful people who give life. It breaks our hearts that the people who give life are not celebrated enough. I have been looking at statistics, which someone spoke about. Inclusive of mothers who require mental health support after getting a stillbirth or losing a baby, the whole Republic has less than 500 accredited mental health workers. These are supposed to take care of a population of about 50 million. They are supposed to take care of babies, the young, the old, women, men and everyone. Just 500!"}
