    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to support this Motion by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. This is a timely Motion because it seeks to ensure that the Government is made accountable in regards to oncological interventions for cancer patients. We are actually facing a crisis of insurmountable proportion because of the manner in which cancer has invaded each and every crack and cream of our society primarily because of our lifestyles. Of course, human beings have also become innovative, but there are no proper studies that show to what extent the products and the environment are affecting us. We cannot even tell. When we are seated here as distinguished Senators, some of us could be having cancer, but we do not know. On Tuesday, we buried the former distinguished Member of Parliament (MP) for Juja Constituency, Francis Munyua Waititu, who was my friend, because of cancer. It did not just affect him alone, but also several other members of his family. That tells that it is hereditary and can affect other people more than others. Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, it is extremely important that we have a comprehensive way of dealing with this national disaster."
