    "content": "Hon. Mwangi): Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is saddening to note that in this country, we have only four cancer specialists. It is not that our children are not getting education; this Government has failed to remunerate doctors well. Once you educate and train one specialist on cancer, he goes to another country where he or she is paid well. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would urge this Government to look at the salaries of our doctors so that we can keep them here to treat Kenyans. We cannot wait for long when we see 22,000 Kenyans losing lives every year in this country. This is one of the diseases that ought to be declared a national disaster. Every Kenyan and even Standard I pupil know that malaria is caused by mosquitoes. But what causes cancer and kidney failure? Our people should be told what those monsters are that kill our people. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Southern Sudan and Zimbabwe, dialysis is done free of charge. Why can this Government not do that? Why can this Government not do the same? If it can be able to do a campaign using choppers, why not treat Kenyans?"
