"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason it is has taken the Ministry so long to respond to this important Statement is because they are ashamed and embarrassed to bring such a response to this august House. Kenya has a population of 42 million. As we know, cancer is on the rise in this country. In fact, this month, Kenya is marking the cancer month alongside other countries of the world. It is disheartening to hear the Vice Chairperson talk about two machines to cater for a population of nearly 20 million, given that nearly 50 per cent of Kenyans have cancer conditions. Three weeks ago, I lost my aunt who was waiting for an appointment for 2017 given by KNH. It is that bad. Appointments are being given deliberately many years to come. Who can wait for an appointment in 2017? Going by the large number of people on the waiting list for radiotherapy out of cancer and going by the amount of money that is being stolen in Government, is it not prudent to take some of this money that is being stolen, especially from National Youth Service (NYS) and buy as many machines as possible to serve Kenyans?"
