    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think that I have a lot to say because you have heard what people want. There has been a lot of suffering amongst Kenyans. They have been going everywhere to look for treatment, including travelling all the way to Loliondo. Anybody who is sick can seek treatment anywhere in the world, whether or not it is real. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for any development to take place in a country, we need a healthy nation. For a healthy nation, we need people who have access to medical care and treatment. So, I am calling upon the Government to take heed and move with speed and implement this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the same time, we also require more doctors to be trained in this field. As the Minister has rightly said, we need people to be trained in various fields because cancer is a serious disease that requires serious treatment. It is not like malaria and common cold. If the Government takes this Motion seriously, we will not have many more Harambees . We know that HIV/AIDS has been giving Kenyans a hard time. But, today, you will find people with HIV/AIDS walking in the streets because of the steps that the Government has taken to make sure that HIV/AIDS patients are given free treatment. It is for the same reason that I am asking the Government to do the same for those people suffering from cancer. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to move and ask the Government to adopt this Motion."
