With those many remarks, I want to indicate that the Departmental Committee on Health - which I chair - has come up with a Bill on cancer prevention, treatment and control. It is in today’s Order Paper this morning. It is scheduled as the last Order in today’s Order Paper for Second Reading. Therefore, I urge my colleagues in this House to support this Motion and the Bill when the time comes for debate, so that we can have a proper law in this country that will save Kenyans from the suffering that they undergo when they get cancer. With those many remarks, I beg to support."}
