    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, today’s Motion has reminded me of 1995 when the then President of Kenya, Daniel Moi, declared Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) a national disaster. At the time, the HIV prevalence rate in Kenya was at 10.5 per cent. At the same time, when you were declared HIV positive, you knew that was a death penalty waiting for you. After declaring it a national disaster, the Government scaled up awareness creation efforts and campaigns, and treatments and care. As at 2016, HIV prevalence level had come down from 10.5 per cent to 5.9 per cent. Therefore, we have done this before and we have seen it work. It is about time we did the same on the issue of cancer."
