It is very timely in the sense that it is about time we had mental health reforms in this country. I am happy to know that Sen. Kasanga is a reform-minded Senator. She has come up with this Bill, where she has looked at every aspect; from the rights of the patients, the obligations of the national Government, the county government and everything else.
