    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not avoid to answer the question. I hope hon. Outa was listening. I specifically talked about the steps we are taking to provide treatment now. I also said that, apart from that, we have other facilities in Nairobi which can offer cancer treatment to Kenyans, if they can access the facilities. The only way they can have access to those facilities is if they pay cash from their pockets. Cancer treatment is a very expensive affair. We know that Kenyans cannot afford it. That is why we are saying that, if we give them insurance through NHIF, they will have access to the treatment that they need. At the moment, many Kenyans are going abroad to seek cancer treatment. When you go to abroad, you will find that you need insurance before you are treated. It is a painful matter when somebody cannot be treated because he or she does not have insurance. As a Minister, if I know that there is a facility in Nairobi available to Kenyans but the only thing they require is insurance, it is my responsibility to make sure that Kenyans have that insurance so that they can access that treatment."
