    "content": "see how to help that person. We want our citizens to be productive. Even those who are cancer survivors, they need to be productive. They can only be productive if we implement the Constitution requirement of ensuring that everyone’s health is catered for. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need also to do a county audit to see how do county executives deal with the issue of cancer. A lot of money is even taken to counties to deal with cancer. However, when you come across the real cancer patients, you find that nobody is helping them. On my phone I always receive a message from a cancer survivor like me who is going through pain. She is always asking for money for drugs and all that because of the pains she is going through. However, there is money that has been sent somewhere to help her. There is money in the counties and even nationally. Sometimes even nationally you just see people talking about cancer awareness. They get a lot of money on behalf of these people who are suffering. It is time people stopped using others as rubberstamps. Madam Temporary Speaker, my fair request is that there is need for an audit to find out what counties do about cancer patients. The real cancer survivors should be brought on board. Some of these people just have white elephants where they say, we are doing this for cancer. We have screening, but if you go to them, they will not help you. I am saying from an informed perspective. Even as a cancer survivor, I have done so many cancer awareness activities in this country. Even from the time I was a lecturer, I was aware that I also have a constituent as a cancer survivor. I used my money to do all these things. When you approach these NGOs, they will not support you, but they will want you to be part of them so that they use you as a rubberstamp. We are helping the Musuruve Foundation. I do not want to be used as a rubberstamp. I have my brains. I am speaking for a group that is not remembered. Madam Temporary Speaker, I suggest that as this Motion goes to the Floor, I hope my fellow Senators will support me. As they support me, let the concerned authorities do what is actually meaningful and humane. I call upon Sen. Wambua to second me in this Motion."
