    "content": "Sanitation to make this Bill a reality. As hon. Martha Karua has said, cancer has become an extremely voracious disease and ailment in our country. Previously, it was assumed to be a lifestyle disease of the elites. Lifestyles have changed across social classes. So, all types of cancers are in our nation. Close to 82,000 persons are identified with one cancer or the other in Kenya and yet we do not have adequate facilities for cancer treatment, adequate diagnostic facilities for cancer detection and the awareness in the country is extremely low. We have a gargantuan task to deal with cancer and this Bill will go a long way to lay the legal framework for the major initiatives that this nation must take very rapidly to ensure that we deal with the cancer menace. Let me assure you that our Ministry is up to the task. All cancer arrangements are being done at the moment - funds allowing - for major initiatives to be taken as a result of this Bill. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
