    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to welcome the students from the Kangaru Girls High School as well as the student leaders from the University of Eldoret. If you have had the opportunity to see the Order Paper for today, you will see that there is a topical issue which this House is about to debate, on matters mental health. As you know, we have seen many cases with university students that can be attributed to mental health challenges. I, therefore, encourage student leaders when they go back to school, that they institute mechanisms of making sure that they are taking care of their mental wellness. I have had several conversations with other universities, and we have established clubs that speak on this matter, where they can encourage fellow students to talk about it. High School girls are also susceptible to the pressures of these days and unmet expectations, especially among young people. They must take cases of their mental wellness seriously. Therefore, they should take the word round that the Senate is discussing this topical issue, and we all need to be aware of it, discuss it and encourage fellow students to open up and speak out more. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
