    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this opportunity. I also echo and support what my colleagues have said. Sometimes, when we give monies to the Ministry of Health or any other arm of the national Government, we tend to blame county governments. But we do not give them that money. That is because they are on the ground and they are the ones who are feeling the heat of serving our people, patients and paying salaries. The national Government sits on a lot of money and we do not know what that money does. My humble request is that the Ministry should get a good tabulation of how that money will be used. This money will remain here. The counties will suffer and Members of Parliament will suffer by giving handouts here and there. That money needs to be used to cater for cancer patients who are suffering left, right and centre. We should start a kitty using that money so that if one contracts cancer and the family cannot afford treatment, that money can be used instead of coming to us as Members of Parliament. Nobody asks the Ministry for that money. Most of the time, the money goes back to the Exchequer having not been spent."
