    "content": "remission and fully recover. A lot of it has to do with natural foods and the methods of cooking that are simple, and yet sustainable, especially for the pocket. It was Sen. Beth Mugo who reminded us that our traditional our traditional vegetables, roots, legumes, beans and maize that our grandmothers used to eat. In fact, one of my aunties who was suffering from one of these non- communicable diseases was advised that whatever your grandmother used to eat is what you should eat. If your grandmother did not eat sausages, you need to remove them from your diet. I would like to add on to Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve’s Motion and her request that we should have a national conversation on food and diet. We should see community health workers going out and speaking to Kenyans about this at the county level. After all, health is a devolved function. Let us talk about the right food and diet. We should see the agriculture sector also beginning to have outreach programmes, where agriculture officers go out into the homesteads and advise Kenyans what it is that we are supposed to do that can help us. In the traditional set up, we had a variety of foods that we would farm in our backyards. This is the sort of conversation that must be brought in if we are going to effectively fight cancer in a sustainable way. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. Continue that way. Thank you, for this Motion and for fighting for Kenyans who are suffering with cancer. That is fighting for the entire population of Kenyans. This is because it touches every one of us in one way or another. Thank you. I support."
