    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to extend my condolences to the people of Kenya for losing an industrious MP. Hon. Waititu was an easy, kind and humourous gentleman. He was a man of the people who interacted easily with the locals. We have lost him to cancer, and I must commend him for his courage. He owned up and tried to draw the attention of the nation to the seriousness, extent and harm that cancer is doing to our society. He also mentioned that 63 Members of the National Assembly and the Senate were diagnosed with cancer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we heard that he went to India. Kenya is spending billions of dollars to send its people for treatment to India, Europe, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. This country is able to organize itself and have an ultra- modern facility to train our doctors and take preventive measures against cancer, which has taken our dear friend and colleague. Therefore, we should not forget that healthcare in the country requires a lot of attention. Forget the strikes that we are seeing; few dispensaries in the country are giving the right services. I got a call this morning about a case in Nyeri where somebody got a cut and went to the Government hospital in Karatina, but later on, he developed problems on his hand, which had the cut. When he went to a private hospital, he was told that the hand had been misdiagnosed. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
