    "content": "My final contribution is that, indeed, this House and the whole nation need to start a programme on health seeking behavior. Some of us, as a House, are on medical cover. But how many of us at the age of 40, when we should be doing the examinations on prostate cancer and all the other things do that? The surest way to treat cancer is early detection and early diagnosis. Even, as a House, we are not organizing opportunities for hon. Members to be sensitized. That is because with the kind of workload we have - we are working 24/7 – we have no time to go out there. Sometimes we work until we become sick and the body refuses to work. We need to be sensitized and we must provide that leadership from this House. We must provide that leadership in our constituencies through medical camps that are being organized. We want to support this Motion. When the Bill finally comes, we will definitely support it. The Minister now has an opportunity, not only to agree with us because we are agreeing with him in the first place anyway, but to ensure that he must start engaging the Treasury early enough to allocate sufficient resources to this Ministry. Only yesterday, the Minister was complaining that it is not only the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital that is in serious financial stress, but even the entire Ministry. Given the high cost of drugs that we are procuring, we may not be able to avail the kind of essential drugs that we need."
