    "content": "I receive about 10 cards inviting me to medical related fundraisers every time I am in my Githunguri Constituency. Fifty per cent of the cards I receive are fundraising for the sick, bedridden, hospitalised, dead and not released for burial. It is because of associated bills. Other cards are about people seeking treatment outside the country but cannot afford the bills demanded. Every single household in my constituency has such cases. Families are going bankrupt and selling ancestral land to cater for medication. My voters in the constituency are farmers. We concentrate on dairy farming. We use our dairy cows as assets. We have provided our pedigree cows as security in hospitals to cater for medical bills. It is emotionally challenging for a family to give out its cows, title deeds and logbooks to hospitals so that they take care of their ailing kin. I am very excited about this idea of establishing the National Cancer Prevention and Control Fund. We cannot implement any intervention without money. I am also very keen to know what happens after we debate this Motion and probably create the Fund. Do we have a departmental sector within the Ministry of Health that strictly takes care of cancer? I mean diagnostics, investment and other activities around cancer."
