    "content": "Thirdly, we need to set up a mental health fund for key vulnerable groups that are exposed to the burden of mental health with a focus on the security and disciplined forces, veterans, new mothers, Gender Based Violence (GBV) recoveries, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) survivors, youth, elderly and prisoners. These recommendations will incorporate the Kenya Mental Health Act Plan 2021- 2025 and give a roadmap for securing reforms and building strong mental health systems with the ultimate goal of attaining the highest standard of mental health in Kenya. I take particular note as the youth representative in this House that we have about 65 cases of murder and 67 cases of suicide recovered in 2021 within the police service alone according to the National Police Service (NPS). I can only imagine what the number will be in other sectors and across the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also have a few recommendations on the environment and climate change. First, I am happy that we have a tree-planting initiative by the Executive, which I undertook during the Christmas holidays."
