"content": "procuring medical equipment from abroad without proper technical support backing it. It has proved very expensive for the New Nyanza General Hospital to rely on personnel from the Netherlands to come in and repair or operate the machine since 1992. In 2005, an engineer was sourced from a Netherlands based company to check up the machine following several visits and other checks. Finally, in 2009, we managed to get the machine going. To cure the problem of lacking personnel, we started a programme of training technical power at the Kenyatta National Hospital. It is still a very inadequate attention to the problem of cancer in this country. Therefore, we are starting a cancer centre at the Kenyatta National Hospital and going full throttle to have a robust cancer programme in this country. It is a broader issue and I am glad the hon. Member has brought it. Indeed, this House should ask the Minister: Given that cancer is such a major problem in this country, what is the Government doing to deal with its treatment and prevention? I hope that Question will come up and I will deal with it."
