"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to condole with the family of the late Hon. Waititu and the people of Juja. From practical experience and as a cancer survivor, the people suffering from cancer, whether they are living with it or are survivors, go through harrowing moments in their lives. I can imagine what the late Hon. Waititu was going through. Normally, when you are going through the process, you are drained financially, including family resources, and there are so many worries that you have as an individual and even as a parent. If you have children in school, you wonder who will pay their fees and how they will get jobs. This is a story that no one cares to find out or even make a follow-up from cancer survivors on how they are getting on. I want to commend the late Hon. Waititu for actually doing what he did in life because we have experiences of him having been very illustrious. He did the best that God allowed him to do. As a cancer survivor, I want to say that most cancer survivors live not because of themselves, but because they want to leave an impact on their families and significant others. There is need for us to have policies that will help cancer survivors to be productive members of the society. I condole with his family. Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity."
