    "content": "you visit the hospital, you are informed that there is no medicine. Through cost sharing, we have allowed them to spend at source. Finally, the proposed cancer institute shall collaborate with the national Government department responsible for health to promote the training of human resources for oncology services. You have seen the challenges of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS). I have had the privilege of sitting on the Committee on County Public Accounts for some time now. When IFMIS and the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Database (IPPD) were introduced, most counties struggled with these systems. This is why the National Treasury has put in place the necessary mechanisms for training and capacity building. The reason we are amending Section 31 is to create a bipartisan approach. Health is devolved. Nevertheless, as we devolve health, we need collaboration with the national Government. As per the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, the work of the national Government is policy formulation and setting standards. The soft part is for the national Government. However, the real deal of implementing health services is on the county governments. I implore my colleagues that no one is clawing back devolution. I know Senators will ask why we are proposing to collaborate with the national Government. We are collaborating with the national Government because it has the capacity, referral hospitals and finances. In this Bill on Cancer Prevention, I am not an expert in this field. However, as a country, we should speak the language of the people who continue to suffer because we violate Article 43 of the Constitution. Cancer is a dangerous killer disease that we must put concerted efforts as a country and proper human resource infrastructure going into the future. One of the icons that I celebrate is Bob Marley. At 36 years of age, Bob Marley died of cancer. If today he was still alive, apart from singing \"One Love\" and other songs- -- Peter Tosh also succumbed to cancer-related complications. Our artiste here, Sen. Crystal Asige, is excited that I know music. She might be a guru in music. Are you aware that I attended the launch of one of her best albums at Ngong Road? Since I am a fan of Reggae music, she should start singing reggae tunes so that some of us can listen to Rastafarianism."
