Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This matter that we are canvassing is very serious. I have listened to comments by colleagues on the need to properly place and advance the issue of mental health in our communities. I note with concern the very comments made by Sen. Mumma, who may misconstrue the exchange that we had earlier, to think that we do not give this space the seriousness that it deserves. For her comfort, I wish to assure her that mental health matters. As leaders, it is in our place to advance and advocate for its proper placing in society, ...

I would wish that, apart from the question that Sen. Kibwana has brought, that this is a space that she takes keen interest in and lead us in seeing ways in which we can help our county governments. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the truth of the matter is that mental health facilities are in such scarce nature. We need them in each of our 47 counties. I have been to Mathare Mental Hospital many times because I had a childhood friend who would be admitted there on many occasions. Each time I visited; you could see the want in terms of ...

service agency presently. You can hardly find any that is not muddled in issues of corruption and misappropriation of funds, fights between the directors and management, and such kind of things. It is something that warrants the attention of the Cabinet Secretary and perhaps, by way of a proposal either through Regulations or legislations that will come from her Ministry to this House in order for them to be properly managed. What strategy has the Cabinet Secretary put in place and what is the plan of the Ministry? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I ask this because if the Cabinet Secretary does ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this chance. You have given us this opportunity of 20 minutes to listen and celebrate the work of our various Committees. We have listened to the reports of the CPAC on the good work that they are doing. We have also listened to the Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing and the Committee on Trade and Investments. I am impressed by the reports that have been brought by the Chairpersons. When we began the campaign a few days ago, we sounded like lonely voices when we said that Chairpersons must read and perhaps re-read ...
