I congratulate her for preparing us well in advance, giving us all the relevant documents and guiding us; we have received the Bill positively. Madam Temporary Speaker, when we look at the challenges that mentally-ill people go through in our society, we note that Africans are fond of appreciating only good things. When we see the opposite of that, we always look for causes of those things that affect our lives negatively. I know many families who have abandoned their people who have mental health challenges. They have always run away from them. So, the stigma that the persons who are mentally ill go through is quite huge. In fact, it is not only the individual with mental illness who suffers the stigma, but the entire family. In most cases, we attribute it to a particular family in the society."
