    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My neighbour and cousin is amusing me because he thought he would get the opportunity. However, he has just walked in and did not know what has been transpiring. I would like him to pay attention so that he can contribute later. I stand to second this Motion and thank my sister Hon. Ruweida for bringing it to this House. More so, she has highlighted with sensitivity the problems Kenya citizens are facing because of this dangerous and bad disease which afflicts many, whether young, middle-aged or old. Diabetes can be rated as one of the most chronic and expensive diseases to treat in this country. More so, most victims end up losing their lives because of poor management and lack of funds to treat the same and other infections which occur as a result of diabetes. If we do not keep our population healthy, and the citizens of this country do not get proper treatment, they will be weak and unhealthy. So, we cannot achieve our national goals and Vision 2030 without human labour. We cannot even achieve the Big Four Agenda because if we do not have people to help us achieve this or are sickly, we cannot move ahead. Therefore, it is very important as the Motion is requesting that the Government initiates programmes and puts in funds to ensure we have diagnostic equipment in each and every health center in our localities. More so, we need mobile clinics whereby people can be tested and get diagnosed early enough. Once a disease is diagnosed early, I strongly believe it can be managed to some level and many can be cured. Unfortunately, here in Kenya, people realise that they are sick when the disease has already entrenched itself and, therefore treatment becomes very difficult. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. We better start looking for ways and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
