"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite sad that right now, when we have anybody suffering from any mental illness, he ends up going to Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital, Kenyatta National Referral Hospital or a few other institutions that offer mental care. When one goes there, they encounter a very strange environment. I remember when my dear brother was there, we had to find a way of taking him back home for him to improve because when he was there, he completely deteriorated. This is something that is quite personal. I know many people may shy away from talking about it, but we must accept it because all of us suffer from some form of mental illness. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the entire political class is completely insane. This is because we even make decisions in this House and later on ask ourselves what we did. Sometimes we suffer mental breakdown when we pass legislation that end up affecting us."
