"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Actually, this Motion is in line with the spirit, objectives and principles of devolution. Treatment of cancer, renal and kidney related diseases is directly proportional to the cost of living. At the moment, many people are suffering from kidney related diseases and the cost of treating them is very high; therefore, hon. Gitari has brought this Motion before this House at the right time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion because dialysis is one of the most expensive procedures in disease management. Cancer is also the same. Therefore, I am supporting this Motion so that the necessary equipment is installed in dispensaries at the county and even constituency levels. Hospitals at the county level should be upgraded, so that they treat these diseases. In my constituency, Mwatate, people who are suffering from these diseases normally travel all the way to Nairobi for treatment, which is about 500 kilometers. At times they go to Tanzania for medical attention. Therefore, I am supporting this Motion and the Mover should move with speed, so that it is implemented. Thank you."
