    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was saying cancer kills more people than TB, HIV and Malaria combined. This is a big challenge to us as leaders in this country and as policy and law makers. One of the challenges we have in this country is that we come up with very good laws and policies but we are unable to implement them. We have legislation in place to manage issues to do with cancer; the National Cancer Control and Prevention Act. A lot of issues contained in this law have not been implemented. This is one issue that Parliament must address, that very good things in our laws and policies have not been implemented. Hence, Kenyans continue suffering. The National Cancer Control and Prevention Act proposes the creation of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). As we are speaking, no one knows about this institute. This institute is not properly funded. It cannot deal with the challenges of cancer we are facing as a country. One of the things we need to do and I am speaking as the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Implementation, is to insist that those who are mandated within Government to implement some of these things do so. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
