    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson Departmental Committee on Health on the following: (i) Could the Chairperson provide a report from the relevant State department on any investigations or research undertaken to establish the causes of the high number of cancer cases in Igembe South sub-county? (ii) What plans are there to assist the residents of the area to unravel the high preference of cancer in the area? (iii) Would the Ministry of Health consider dispatching a team of health experts to Riaki and Kiegoi village to establish the causes of high rates of cancer? (iv) What information or research is available to provide sufficient proof that aerosol sprays used in farming and asbestos used as building materials are not carcinogenic. If the answer is negative, could the responsible manufacturing companies be held liable and made to compensate the victims? (v) Could the Government consider funding schools to assist them to replace carcinogenic asbestos used as building materials for roofing and constructing other school infrastructure as is the case for Amwamba Primary School? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
