    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson Departmental Committee on Health concerning the high rate of cancer cases within Igembe South Constituency. Hon. Speaker, recent statistics shows that Igembe South Sub-county has a high prevalence rate of cancer cases in Meru and Kenya in general. That, within a span of one year, more than 30 people have succumbed to the disease while many are hospitalised. The most affected villages are Kiegoi and Riaki villages which lie at the foot of Nyambene hills where at least each household is affected or has a patient. The residents believe that the causes of the high cancer rates in this area are due to foreign material at the source of Kanoru River, aerosol sprays used during farming or asbestos material The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
