    "content": "of cancer. Therefore, we really need to come out clearly. The Government should put in measures to make sure that we curb this menace and pandemic because it is really affecting us seriously. At the moment, we are told that 8.2 million people in the world are suffering from cancer and this figure will triple by the year 2030. What can we do as a country to prevent such an increase in the suffering of our fellow Kenyans? We should see into ways of preventing cancer from developing in the first place. As the Member from Nyatike has said, we are aware of chemicals that can cause cancer. We are aware of our misuse of chemicals. If you go to our farms, somebody can spray their farms with insecticides today early in the morning and in the evening, those products are in the market to be sold. These are contributing to cancer cases. We need NEMA to really tighten their belt and up their game so that we can prevent this disease. This is because some cancers are easily preventable. Without taking much time, I really do support this Motion and I ask my sister, Hon. Waruguru, to speed up so that we can have a Bill on the same and it can urgently be declared a national disaster because it is actually a national and a worldwide disaster. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
