"content": "We have a progressive legislation known as the Cancer Prevention and Control Act, 2012. Unfortunately, the law as established is a skeleton. We need to give flesh to that particular skeleton of legislation. That particular legislation creates the National Cancer Institute of Kenya (NCI), which is an equivalent of the US National Cancer Institute. The agency is like a toothless bulldog that cannot bite. It is micro-managed by the Ministry of Health. If you Google the NCI website, you will be surprised that it does not have statistics of cancer cases in Kenya since 2013. What they rely on are the statistics from IARC that were done in 2018. The projections that I have given here are merely projections; they are not based on research by NCI Kenya. I call upon the Departmental Committee on Health to invite NCI Kenya to appear before them to ascertain the issues that have been raised in the Report."
