    "content": "I did some research on him because of his quiet nature and I discovered how popular he was in South Nyanza. I am aware that he has left a very young family, with very many children who are still going to school. He has passed on at the age of 52 years. Therefore, it is for us to stand firm in solidarity with his family in a meaningful way. I am glad that the Parliamentary Service Commission has tried its best on the issue of medical expenses. However, that family will need a lot of assistance. The young children will need a lot of assistance if they are to realise the potential that their father wanted them to have. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there have been contributions on the issue of Cancer, which is now everywhere. In fact, we hear more about Cancer than the HIV/AIDS that we used to hear about. Most people pass away today because of Cancer. The time has now come for us to deal with this menace of Cancer. One way of dealing with this menace is to have Cancer centres in every county, so that we can have early detection of the disease. If some cancers are diagnosed early enough, they can be treated and that is the way to go. It could be a challenge to our Committee on Health to see how that can be achieved, so that we move from rhetoric to action on it. To the family of the late Sen. Ben Oluoch Okello, please, accept our condolences. We pray to the Almighty God to give you strength during this time of sorrow. We also pray to the Almighty God to continue showering you with blessings. May the soul of our late colleague rest in eternal peace. Thank you."
