    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker and Hon. Members, the youth counsellors in schools was out of a working collaboration between my ministry and the Ministry of Education. Curriculum development is a function of the Ministry of Education. We shall be working together with them to see how we integrate guiding and counselling specifically to work on mental health and see how it can be put into the curriculum. However, as a function, it lies with the Ministry of Education. Through our one government approach, we shall approach the ministry so that we work together. The other is counselling, specifically for the case of Eregi Girls High School that you have mentioned. We dispatched officers from the Ministry of Health yesterday evening. They are in the school. One of their primary responsibilities is to ensure that there is proper counselling of not just the students but also the teachers and the community around them as we wait for the final results from Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI). We have a division of traditional and alternative medicine at the Ministry of Health. This division works together with those who provide traditional and alternative medicine, and alternative ways of healing, to regulate them. I will ask my Director-General who is here with me to make sure we beef up and understand reflexology and how it can be incorporated in training at the Kenya Medical Training College. I submit, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
