BY LORETTA B MANELE

Government for National Unity and Transformation (GNUT) has been urged to come up with a bill that will cater to our mentally challenged people in Honiara and the provinces.

The call was made by David Gina, Member of Parliament for South New Georgia Rendova-Tetepare constituency in parliament yesterday.

He expressed that they should have a bill that will be for people with mental illness who are roaming the streets.

Gina added that today there are more of them and not just in the capital but also in the provinces as well.

He said they are also a threat to lives, public and private properties.

“Young men and mature people are in this situation. Urge government bring a bill to safeguard this issue.”

He expressed that through this bill, they can look after them and find them a place in the community.
