Sen. (Prof.) Ekal Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thought that I was not connected. I have been raising my hand for a while, but did not get called. However, I am glad that you saw me. I am going to comment on this Statement about mental health. As my...

Sen. (Prof.) Ekal Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me a chance to contribute to this petition. From listening to fellow colleagues, I realize that this is a cross cutting issue that affects most counties. Many casual staff of Turkana County were also dismissed and have not been...
