    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for your indulgence on this matter. In fact, on the matter of implementation, Hon. Martin was very much in order. Implementation should not result in reports. What is the result of implementation? We should see results rather than coming back to debate reports on how those things have not been implemented. With regard to this Report, I thank the Departmental Committee on Health very much for a very well-done Report. Each recommendation is time-bound. Within three months, we expect the National Treasury to do this. Within six months, we expect the Ministry of Lands to issue titles. We do not expect the Committee on Implementation to necessarily bring us back reports. The reports should come back saying that this has already been done and the other has already been done. The committee that has the biggest responsibility in this House, especially in touching the lives of the people we represent, is the Committee on Implementation. Our whole life lies with you in the sense that as much as we debate and none of the things that have been listed in this Report are implemented, then we just become a talk shop. At least, we are not idle as a Member said, but we will be talking and making idle threats that do not make sense. That is why some Members were saying that they have left the House to people who just speak a lot of English and do not work. A lot has been said on the issue of mental health, but it is an area that we need to focus on. Apart from making Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital an autonomous body as has been recommended by the Departmental Committee on Health, we should look at having a lot more done especially within our counties because we will not all rely on Mathari Hospital as a mental hospital. By the time people from Homa Bay make it to Mathari, they will be in the final stages of their mental illness. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
