    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. That was useful information. I will attend the launch. No one can stop reggae. Those who supported the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) used this slogan. However, BBI was stopped, but not reggae. Reggae is a way of life. BBI was stopped, but reggae was not stopped. Reggae will continue. I hope to listen to that album when you launch it. I hope Sen. Gataya Mo Fire, who is used to listening to Rhumba and Kanda Bongo Man songs, will attend so that we can teach him the way of Rastafarians. He only listens to Kanda Bongo Man and Rhumba songs. Some people only listen to kapuka. Nowadays, some people only listen to Mejja's songs. There is a young man who sings called Mejja. I know Sen. Crystal Asige understands. Your visitors' generation has its own way of listening to songs. This era of TikTok still behooves us. Sen. Crystal Asige, I hope you will share your presentation on TikTok and social media so we can listen. The Gen Z generation in the public gallery only listens to music through TikTok. Facebook, I am told, is archaic. The aspect I am trying to conclude is the issue of cancer institute. We must ensure we give the necessary resources in the future. We should put resources through the cancer institute. The issue of boards continues to be a problem. We should put the cancer institute in place and allocate resources to it. There are many partnerships in funding, but we should ensure we put enough resources into the institute as per the aspirations of Clause 31 of the Bill. The Cancer Institute is critical for research. I do not know whether it was Bomet County where people were alluding that some of us drink mursik, which is mixed with some - I know Sen. Lemaletian understands that we take mursik, which is sometimes mixed with a special tree. The other day we celebrated International Tea Day. Sometimes the temperatures could be too high and perhaps cause throat cancer. We need the National Cancer Institute of Kenya (NCI-K) to tell us why, for example, Kiambu, Nairobi and Nakuru where the Deputy Majority Leader comes from, are leading in cancer cases, so that we do not create wrong perceptions. The NCI-K must be given the necessary resources to research, so that we understand why we are losing over 27,000 Kenyans every year through cancer. Cancer is one of the technical subjects. So, we must put more resources into it. The reason the Senate wants Kshs415 billion to go to the counties up from about Kshs390 billion proposed by the National Assembly is to enable them have enough resources to fight cancer in our villages. Our people are painfully suffering. Out of Kshs4.2 trillion, we are only requesting for Kshs415 billion to go to the counties to assist in the provision of healthcare services in this Republic. I am happy because I have seen a number of Members of the Mediation Committee. They should not move an inch before ensuring that Kshs415 billion is in place. As a Senate,"
