    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, allow me to thank Hon. Rahim Dawood and Sen. Cherargei for bringing this very important Bill. It is important, before going deep into debate, to know that our people are dying of cancer. I take special mention of the Meru community where we have many cancer cases. Most of the people do not die because of the disease. They die because of lack of information and fear. Out of fear because the cost of treatment is high, and when they are told they have cancer, it normally sounds like a death sentence. This Bill aims at demystifying that and ensuring that our people get renewed hope with trust that technology will be able to sort them out. This is why I am particularly very impressed by telemedicine and e-treatment that is in the market. We should leverage on technology and also not forget that prevention is more important than even the curative part of it. If we can use the community health workers to inform people and give them enough knowledge on what to look for, I am sure our people will go a long way in getting saved from this menace that is clearing them. This is a very important Bill. I wish it reaches the stage where we can comfortably say we are able, if not to completely eliminate cancer and handle it using technology so that our people can live without fear. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
