    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to support this Bill. One reason I would like to support this Bill is the fact that the Mover has chosen to take the fight against cancer back to the counties by engaging the county leadership. In fact, all of us are addressing things that engage us directly. I believe the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill talks about that too. When we look at the cancer statistics and even on road safety, which are issues that have been highlighted in this Bill, all these affect us in this House, in our families and the people we interact with everyday. Many of our people have died from cancer. It is very sad that we loss many people through cancer. Some of these diseases are preventable if we had good medical care and the right information. When we passed the Constitution, the health sector was devolved to the counties. So, if we improve our health status and we give the right facilitation to the hospitals in the counties and give the right information on cancer, we will be able to save lives. This is the only way we can join the fight against the cancer pandemic in our country. As I support this Bill, I know very well that when we give the right information with regard to the treatment and care, then we will be helping our people. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with regard to road safety, this is not something that we should take lightly. Road safety is something that involves everybody, including the police and the county government. Some of these issues should not be left to the national Government. We are able to solve many things when people join hands together to make it a priority because there are things that affect us directly and indirectly. Thank you.
