    "content": "We are talking about a very serious disease, whose diagnosis is very expensive. Very few people in this country can afford the fees to diagnose cancer. The Mover has actually shied away. He should have said in the Bill – and I hope he will do that – that every Kenyan will be entitled to free diagnosis of cancer. He shied away and he should not shy way because we are talking about a very serious disease. The same case applies to medicine. I was expecting to see a clause in the Bill that says that all medicine related or concerned with cancer, shall be free or that there should be no duty on those kind of medicine. They should even be subsidized because the medicine is very expensive and very few ordinary Kenyans can afford them. I was also expecting another clause on equipment to the effect that every equipment related to cancer shall be imported free of duty or even better, they should be subsidized by the Government so that more hospitals can afford this very expensive equipment."
