    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion by Hon. Rose Museo on establishment of programmes and interventions to encourage uptake of counselling services. Being a bishop and having spent two years in the United States of America (USA) in a counselling school, I realise that we have many problems in our society. Those problems can be solved through professional counselling. As we move forward as a nation into a life of modernisation whereby we are now in a global village where people move from one area and country to another, we need to invest more in counselling services. We need to invest in counselling centres. When I was in school in the USA, someone asked why I was studying for a degree in Christian counselling. He wondered where I would take it to and how much money I would earn out of it. We have so many people who have so many problems that can be solved through counselling. I continue to serve in church. I have come across cases of men of the cloth who are not trained in counselling. They have the gift to preach but they have not gone through any formal education that will assist them to carry out their spiritual work with professionalism. For example, we had a case whereby a woman had a problem with her husband. She went to the pastor and told him that her husband did not love her. She also told him to pray for her.
