July 3, 2019 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OFFICIAL REPORT Wednesday, 3rd July 2019 The House met at 2.30 p.m. [The Speaker (Hon. Justin Muturi) in the Chair] PRAYERS Hon. Speaker: Hon. Members, the Communication will come later. PETITIONS MANAGEMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH Hon. Speaker: Hon. Members, Standing Order No. 225(2)(b) requires the Speaker to report to the House any petition that is not presented by a Member. I, therefore, wish to report to the House that my office received a Petition submitted by one, Ms. Caroline Ajwang’ Oreng’ a counselling psychologist from Kisumu. The petitioner makes reference to the Mental Health Act which provides for the care, management and control of persons suffering from mental health illnesses. The petitioner is concerned about the increase in mental health issues that are manifested in the society through murder, suicide, rape, drug abuse and other delinquent misconduct. Hon. Members, the petitioner claims that these social misconducts originate in our schools and homes and proposes that mental healthcare should be introduced at the formative stages of an individual to ensure that the mental health of upcoming generations is taken care of. The petitioner further avers that there is a section of the general public facing mental health issues and that they lack the financial capability to visit private institutions to receive the appropriate medical attention. Hon. Members, the petitioner prays that the National Assembly intervenes to ensure: (i) an increase in the number of counsellors in Government institutions to provide care to citizens who cannot afford to pay for the services offered by the private institutions; and (ii) employment of professional counsellors in schools instead of having guidance and counselling teachers so that the counsellors can fully concentrate on children’s mental health and introduce counselling for child offenders, without necessarily subjecting them to jail terms. -

Jaramogi Oginga Odinga: the Man Kenya Can Never Forget,Once Upon a Dome,Handshake Manenos!,Handcheque Part II,Tinga!,Three Wise
Jaramogi Oginga Odinga: The Man Kenya Can Never Forget By Dauti Kahura and Bethuel Oduo If Thomas Joseph (TJ) Mboya was the young man that Kenya wanted to forget, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga is the grand old man who Kenya can never forget. Jaramogi and Tom Mboya were both were nationalists of great distinction from the Luo community who as seasoned politicians posed a threat to the founding president Jomo Kenyatta’s autocratic national designs. Tom Mboya died young, by an assassin’s bullet, on July 5, 1969. Jaramogi died an old man, a mzee, at the age of 82 years on January 20, 1994, after having been tormented by both Kenyatta and Daniel arap Moi regimes effectively from 1969 after his fall out with Kenyatta and through the 80s and 90s during iron-fisted Moi’s reign. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga death anniversary on January 20th, twenty-five years since his passing, was marked quietly in a manner that diminishes his immense contribution to the Kenyan national project. If Thomas Joseph (TJ) Mboya was the young man that Kenya wanted to forget, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga is the grand old man who Kenya can never forget No history book on Kenya would be complete without his mention. Jaramogi was the vice president of the nationalist party Kanu when Kenya African Union (Kau) merged with Kenya Independent Movement to form Kanu on May 14, 1960. He was later to become the country’s first Vice President, after Kanu won the 1963 general elections under Kenyatta. When his friend Pio Gama Pinto was killed in 1965, Jaramogi knew he was a targeted man because of his ideological position. -
