    "content": "privilege as myself? I wonder how they take their parents and relatives to facilities in Kisumu. If for one reason or other, everybody else in western region took their patients to Kisumu, where will the people of Kisumu County go to? Madam Temporary Speaker, I am supporting this Motion because it is an indicator that when it comes to provision of medical services and health for chronic patients, we are given tokenism. We are not true champions from the fact that we are victims. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, is a survivor of cancer. She is perhaps feeling it right from her bone and makeup. I wanted to request that each of us who has a privilege should take time and share the experience that survivors and victims have had. This is so that they know how this is a suffering that has spiral effect that is of economic pinch and that is hurting many people. It should be our duty to make sure that we are able to create an environment and set aside resources to support people who are victims of chronic diseases. Madam Temporary Speaker, we should provide everything requested for in this Motion and go beyond this. We should look at other categories of cancer and other chronic ailments and ensure that the provision of health we offer to our people is the kind of health that we would offer to ourselves. In the holy book it is said that do unto your neighbour what you would want to be done to yourself. The question is who your neighbour is. If 99 per cent of the people in your neighbourhood need this service, so who is your neighbour? A time has come that we should align our duties and thinking to the holy people of the past and future. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those very many remarks, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for leading us in terms of empathising, sympathising and supporting people who are victims of cancer and who need the help of us individually and collectively as an institution. Thank you very much."
