    "content": " Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to first congratulate you on your appointment today to the Chairperson’s Panel. We look forward to having you serving us with the diligence that my colleagues have mentioned. I beg that we adopt this Sessional Paper. I have just received news from my constituency that somebody has killed his girlfriend and committed suicide. That brings cases of suicide in my constituency and that of the neighbouring Kuresoi to around nine or ten. I was looking at Page 17 of the Sessional Paper, which is on health personnel. I see the mention of doctors, dentists, pharmacists, pharmaceutical technologists, nursing officers, including nurses and clinical officers. I am wondering whether we also have personnel that are trained in guidance and counselling and also religious leaders. We could incorporate them into our health sector. When some people go to hospital, they get stressed and so they resort to committing suicide. Maybe, if we had more counsellors and religious leaders in our hospitals, probably paid by our Ministry of Health, the number of suicide cases could not be as high."
