    "content": "Therefore, the facts and issues that have been raised by the governor in his petition to this House are very weighty matters that we need to consider. As a House, we are given the mandate and responsibility to consider, think critically on ways that we can strengthen and inculcate devolution deeply in this Republic. I urge that the Committee that you shall direct to look at this Petition gives it the seriousness that it deserves. The Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) in their report that they sent to the Committee on Finance and Budget had requested that Kshs2 billion be set aside for the establishment of two cancer referral centres in this Republic. Unfortunately, the National Treasury ignored that advisory. It will only be proper if this House stamps its authority and rises to the occasion so that we address the needs of many Kenyans that continue to suffer. In Eldoret Town, as you are also aware, there is mushrooming of so many private hospitals that are cashing in on Kenyans who continue to go to these institutions to seek assistance but they cannot get it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my sincere most hope that we shall not dash the hopes and desires of the people of Uasin Gishu and the entire region that rely on this facility and do justice to it."
