    "content": "private covers have been frustrating cancer patients and declining to pay their bills, as per the insurance contracts and this only makes bad situation worse. As we commemorate World Breast Cancer Awareness month, I urge every Kenyan, starting with my colleagues in this House, to be champions of the war against cancer by ensuring that we get screened early enough and understand that cancer does not have to kill you. Let us all embrace the popular mantra, ‘your health is your best wealth.’ Allow me to inform my fellow Senators that during this month of October, my team at Karen Nyamu Foundation and I have partnered with Path Care Kenya Limited to conduct a medical camp, to offer free cervical cancer screening and treatment in Nairobi City County. I urge all women of Nairobi City County to come out in large numbers and take advantage of this golden opportunity. As I conclude, there is great need to come up with specific legislation to address the myriad of challenges facing cancer patients in Kenya. As such, I will be sponsoring a Motion in this House to address among other issues the financial challenges experienced by cancer patients with the view to increase allocations towards the purchase of modern cancer equipment, training more oncologists and revisiting the National Action Plan on Cancer. I urge my colleagues to support me through the Motion when that time comes. Thank you."
