    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to express my heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Sen. Okello. It was with profound sorrow that I learnt of the demise of my colleague. I must state here that we are in a sad moment. A dark cloud of gloom is hanging precariously above this House. We have lost a great man and legislator. We ask God to comfort the family in these stormy times, provide shelter and comfort them. Let us all pray for the family for the loss of Sen. Okello. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have personally lost a father figure. When I came to this House, I saw my colleague, Sen. Okello, as a friend and a father figure. I remember him being a news anchor in the Ramogi FM. One of his programmes was giving Bibles every morning to his listeners. This is evident enough that he is resting in Heaven. I am certain of that because of his mannerisms. My colleagues have addressed the issue of cancer being the menace that is consuming our population in Kenya. As a House, we need to come up with measures to curb the ever spreading menace. We need to come up with solutions such as establishing cancer centres in all our counties. We are the defenders of counties and we need to defend the populations that live there. I would be very grateful if this House adopts a policy whereby every county will be mandated to come up with a cancer centre.
