    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start with congratulating the Speaker for the way he has handled this Parliament right from the beginning for those who are first timers and we were learning on how to handle and transact business. The Speaker and staff of Parliament worked like robots. I would like to state this here that they worked as if they never got tired. I want to commend them and ask that the coming Parliament should improve the numbers of staff so that these people do not wear out too soon because of the level of work they do. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to recognize the Panel of Speakers and the balanced direction given in this House. They have given the House the kind of image we expect in this country. I happened to Chair the Committee of Health all the five years and allow me to commend and appreciate my Vice-Chair who is here with me and all the Members of the Committee for the co-operation they have shown in the five years in transacting business in the health sector. It is through this Committee that we were able to realize two Bills, one addressing the cancer problem in this country and also the latest one addressing the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority where we would expect that all medical supplies will now be supplied to our health facilities and also address the cancer issues that we have in the country. We have even indicated that we shall want to have hospitals that will be treating cancer in each county and we shall ask the coming Government and administration of this country to ensure that resources are allocated to ensure that these hospitals come up and address the health concerns of our population. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to thank the people of Nyaribari Chache who elected me to be in this Tenth Parliament."
