    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other area which I did not get clearly touches on Clause 3(d), which deals with access to medical insurance, where it is made mandatory for them to ensure persons of such mental status are insured. From a legal perspective, I was wondering if, indeed, insurance law is in a special category of the law of contract, which is known to be a wager or a game. How do you enforce a contractual obligation on the part of an institution which wants to make profit? Maybe we can bring forth the issue of people of such minds or such institutions that the premium may be higher. That way, it cannot be called discriminatory. That is an area which I did not grasp very well. The other area is Clause 30 of this Bill. I applaud Sen. Kasanga for taking care of the rights of ownership and protection of the property of these persons with mental health challenges. I realised that they are well protected. There is criminal sanction against the trustee manager who may breach the trust. There is also an instant or summary recovery of the money lost with the property worth equivalent. The Bill is wholesomely comprehensive, as has been analysed by Sen. Halake. Indeed, it needs to be supported to the end because we never know about tomorrow. Today it is you, tomorrow it may be I. It will be very sad when, as a Member of this honourable Senate, you are seized with this opportunity and you never supported it and, tomorrow, you find yourself in a mental institution. I beg to support."
