"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Marsabit, Sen. Hargura, has raised a very grave matter. He has talked about the emergence of cancer in his county which has claimed the lives of more than 500 people. This is attributed to the activities of oil exploration and projects of that nature which are being undertaken at national scale. Serious action needs to be urgently taken. I do not know what the Senate is going to do, but we cannot just sit by when citizens of a county are dying at such a rate. This matter should be reported not just to the national Government, but even to the World Health Organization (WHO), because it is beyond the capacity of the County Government of Marsabit, which is in charge of the health docket. It is, definitely, a matter that requires great research and more importantly, swift action. I do not know what ruling you will make, but I urge you to think about this as a matter of grave concern. Thank you."
