    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. Of late she is overworking in representing the people living with disabilities. I want to start from where the Motion has quoted Article 43 of the Constitution that provides for economic and social rights. You know very well that one of the basic rights in the celebrated Bill of Rights Chapter IV of the Constitution is access to affordable healthcare services in this country, including reproductive health. This Motion has come at a better time. We know that every time you are in the village, most of the funerals we attend are because of cancer. People have suffered because of cancer. Therefore, the unfortunate sad reality about cancer is that most of the time people die because of late diagnosis. Madam Temporary Speaker, therefore chemotherapy comes late and it becomes a big challenge. Families use a lot of money to try and treat the cancer patients. Unfortunately, the patient may die leaving the family poorer than they were. I support the provision of colostomy bags to colon cancer patients and survivors in county hospitals. Under Article 27 in the Constitution 2010 of Kenya, human dignity forms our basis of the Bill of Rights. The fact that you can provide these colostomy bags for the people is very important."
