    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the data important in understanding cancer is that if you are obese – if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is higher than it ought to be – then, you are a good candidate for getting cancer sometimes in the future. In fact, the older you grow, the more likely it is that you will get cancer. If you smoke, there is likelihood that sooner rather than later, you will be another candidate. If you drink beyond social drinking, you are also likely to be a candidate for cancer. If you are too much indulgent in nyama choma and beer for a good part of the week, you are yet another candidate. There are health statistics that will need to be collected at the micro level by the committees if, indeed, they will take the responsibility of control and prevention seriously. Fourthly – I am glad this responsibility is in the hands of the counties and we just talked about it earlier – I want to talk about water. Scientists tell us that 75 per cent of body is water. God knew why He did this. It was not because of any other reason that water is extremely essential to the health of any living thing, be it plants or animals. If access to water is a dangerous enterprise and if you are much more likely to drink water that is not good for the body, again, you are a possible candidate for cancer. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we live in a dangerous world. I am told that the water that we drink here---. In fact, the Kenya Dental Association (KDA) was requested by one of the water companies to endorse it. The KDA then send water from that company to South Africa to find out whether it was good for drinking or not. The South African company tested the water and brought back a report that, that water is not very good 30 per cent of the time. I will not tell you which company that is because you may be drinking the water as I do very often. However, know ye, therefore, that it has some health hazards which should be advertised on the bottle so that when we drink it, we know the risk we are taking. I beg to support."
