    "content": "late Sen. Ben Oluoch. Although I did not interact with the late Senator a lot, from what that has been said it shows that he was a great man. His life has been nipped in the bud from assisting and working for the people of Migori County, and more particularly, his own family. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we condole the family of Sen. Ben Oluoch, I wish to say that Cancer is a disease that does not only take lives, but also resources. Therefore, as my colleagues have said, it is the high time that we ensure that there are cancer centres in all counties, which will assist people in the treatment of cancer. Many people cannot afford to go to India or other countries to be treated. As a result, a number of us have suffered. If you go to the counties you will realise that one out of three deaths is caused by cancer. It is high time we sat down and reasoned together. Maybe, through legislation, we can ensure that the necessary equipment is put in the counties. This will ensure that those who are suffering right now shall have relief. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that sugar which contains mercury, a carcinogenic agent, was found in some go-downs. If the culprits are found, they should be charged with a capital offence. They should be brought to book and whatever they have done taken seriously. Maybe, in the next five to ten years, there will be mass effects of what is happening right now. May the soul of our late colleague, Sen. Ben Oluoch, rest in eternal peace."
