    "content": "of bringing those machines will be brought down massively and, instead of talking about the county, we can even go further and talk about the same services being provided at the constituency level. I am very sure that, as far as we are able to tackle that problem of getting those services near to the people, we also have to tackle the many other issues that relate to cancer. One of them is the lifestyle and the type of food that people eat. I am very sure that most of the people in the rural areas, because I represent a constituency that is largely rural, do not have proper education and even a proper diet. So, as we go down and introduce the renal services and cancer machines in our counties, we would also like to urge the Government to also look at a way of educating our masses so that they get the right touch of most of the things that they need to do. Finally, as I support this Motion, I would like to say that most of the people in our villages have a lot of fear of any ailment related to cancer. You will find that in a week or so, people will come to your office with ailments that are not confirmed as cancerous but the fear of those people even to go to the hospital is shown on their faces. I have seen people with lumps in my constituency and by the time you persuade somebody to go to hospital, it even takes a longer time to explain to him what that means. So, I am very sure that if this Motion is passed and then looked at a wider perspective, a Bill can be introduced to look into all other areas that need to be tied so that the common man on the ground can feel that the right that is in the Constitution of medical attention is only not just provided in the Constitution, but he or she can be able to demand it. That is because, today, we can say that the right is there but the avenue to demand that right is not there. So many people from my rural constituency in Ndaragwa are dying from that ailment and none knows the process to follow that right."
