The Departmental Committee on Health should take up this particular Motion and convert it into a Bill so that funding and management will be easy. The budgeting process of cancer research centres will also be easy and technicians can be trained based on the availability of that funding. The other suggestion I have on this particular Motion is that we should look at not just the oncologists and specialists but also look at technicians who can be trained abroad for short courses such as six months so that we can have many hands that can be deployed across the district and sub-county hospitals. That way, the specialists will be able to look at the bigger picture while at the grassroots technicians can help our people. Finally, one of the major issues about the treatment of cancer or screening for cancer- related ailments is that people must come to Nairobi. To make that easier, the national Government must begin to attract investors. They can set up cancer screening and treatment units in Marsabit, Lowdar and in other far flung areas so that people do not travel to Nairobi when they actually cannot afford. With those remarks, I support."
