    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would just like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for her very comprehensive responses. I, however, have a follow-up question, especially on the recommendation that she has shared in terms of having youth counsellors in schools. Madam Cabinet Secretary, I am asking this because we have had too many cases of suicide in schools. In Nyamira and Kisii, where I come from, on a daily basis, we have had news of reported cases of children who have committed suicide. We have Physical Education (PE) as part of timetables in schools. Why not have guidance and counselling also being part of the timetable so that it does not become optional? In most cases, it is very hard for you to find someone volunteering to go and see a guiding counsellor because they have a problem. In most instances, people with mental health issues do not even know they are suffering from it. Case in point, Madam Cabinet Secretary, is like yesterday when we had an issue about Eregi Girls High School. As of today, that mysterious disease has affected 95 students. My question is: Who is ensuring that a guidance and counselling expert is speaking to tthe rest of the students who are not affected in school so that that does not then affect them mentally?
