vaccination. We expect the Government to tell the country the level of partnerships that they are doing with the county government and co-operates in trying to vaccinate Kenyans and protect them against this pandemic. When we had the ad hoc Committee on the COVID-19 situation in Kenya that was chaired by my able nephew, Sen. Sakaja and Sen. Kasanga as the Vice-Chairperson, we were getting regular updates on what was going on in the country. As the defenders and protectors of counties and their interests, we are failing as a House. The fact that Sen. Sakaja resigned from the Committee ...

I also agree with those who have spoken ahead of me that most of the people who commit suicide sometimes have mental problems that are not diagnosed. We have put little energy on dealing with our mental problems. The other day, I saw my good old friend Dr. Frank Njenga, the distinguished psychiatric, talking about the need to upscale our tension to mental health. If you go to Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital, which is the only national referral hospital on mental illness, it is like a prison.
