    "content": "I want to ride on her Statement that it is important for intervention to be done to ensure that cancer survivors live productively. So, I plead that an investigation be done not only in the said area but countrywide. What is the Government doing to ensure that cancer survivors live a productive life like I am living now? When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, were it not for Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), where I was working, my friends and relatives, I would certainly be dead by now because it was very expensive. It made me lose my femur bone and part of my pelvis. I now have a hemipelvis prosthesis and femur prosthesis because JKUAT, my relatives and friends intervened at the right time. I sold a lot of my property to bring me to where I am right now. The issue of the common man having cancer is an issue that needs to be addressed with a lot of seriousness. This is because most people who are diagnosed with cancer think that it is a death sentence whereas it is not, and I am a testimony. I had cancer in 2013 and I am now in Parliament. There is need to intervene. There is also need to find out what is causing cancer in that area. Cancer can be as a result of lifestyle. It could also be hereditary. My own father died of prostate cancer in 2006. I could not get prostate cancer and you know why. Instead, I got the bone cancer that led to my disability. There is need to investigate because cancer is also a cause of disability."
