    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, many years ago when I was powerful - I still am because I represent the powerful people of Migori - I had the misfortune of losing my father-in-law to cancer. Fortunately for him, he had been given four months to live, but we came together as a family and took him to the United States of America (USA). The intervention he got from the USA extended his life for three years. Although he eventually died - may the Lord rest his soul in eternal peace - he was able to look at his life, reflect on it and die when his time had run out. My father-in-law was polygamous and my eldest mother-in-law had cancer. We were unable to raise money to take her to the USA although I was privileged then, it was not my sole burden; we had to come together as a family and decide what to do. However, before we knew what cancer she had and at what stage it had reached, she had to wait for three months to be seen by doctor at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). Madam Temporary Speaker, using my privileged position then, I requested that her appointment be brought forward. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KNH was Dr. Musau a lady from Kitui - that is why the Senator for Kitui must sit here - I requested her to bring forward her tests. It was brought forward to 19 days from three months. Unfortunately, by the time it reached her turn to be seen by a doctor, she died two days before."
