    "content": "In this country, between 2010 and 2014, the rate of people dying from cancer increased from about 31 deaths per 100,000 people to 33 deaths per 100,000 people. That statistic is telling us that the death rate associated with cancer has surpassed the population growth rate in our country. I am glad that this Motion is before the House. If we pass it, the 11th Parliament will go into the annals of history of Kenya. We have ignored or forgotten this killer disease, which can cause a lot of problems to our country. Our sister, Hon. Wanga, felt that we should discuss it today. Newly reported cancer cases annually stand at 82 per cent. This is according to the findings of the research that she has done. We have to think about this as Kenyans and legislators. This disease will not only affect the patients but also the entire nucleus and extended family. If the mother or father develops this disease, it will affect the entire family psychologically, emotionally, financially and physically. We need to come up with a coping and counselling system that will help the family."
