    "content": "On the second Petition by Mr. Elijah King’ori Githima regarding the deplorable state of the mental health care facilities in Kenya, the Committee visited Mathare Mental Hospital and made the following observations:- (i) That Mathare National Teaching and Referral Hospital, which is the only psychiatrist facility, had faced many challenges and was in a dilapidated state due to many years of neglect. The mental health facility was not properly funded, leading to it being in a deplorable state. (ii) Coupled with financial challenges, the Mathare National Teaching and Referral Hospital was facing an acute shortage of staff, with one nursing officer taking care of 147 patients in the maximum security unit. This is way below the required international standards, notwithstanding the security threat that the nursing officer was exposed to. Out of this, the Committee made the following recommendations:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
