    "content": "seat from her sister. In fact, I reflect that Governor (Dr.) Laboso has only been in politics and public life for a short period of 10 years. However, when you look through her history as a MP, Deputy Speaker and first woman governor together with the Governor of Kitui and the Governor of Kirinyaga, we thank God for the person we knew. I say pole to the people of Bomet. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, there is a huge debate. I know that this afternoon, we will deal with a Bill on cancer prevention and treatment. There are a lot of theories and conversation about what exactly we should do to avoid or treat cancer. Those of us who are laypeople in the sense of being doctors sometimes get confused as to what advice should be taken. It is important that as a nation, we try to eliminate as much as possible the things that could lead to this disease whether it is safety of our food or environment. It is unfortunate that treating or preventing diseases, including cancer is a function of the Ministry of Health. As a nation, we should do a holistic approach. The conversation of well-being and health of the nation should not focus on what the Ministry or Department of Health is doing. We should have a holistic approach about how our environment, the food we are eating and the department of physical exercise is. Ultimately, we will achieve better health as a nation and not focus on treatment which is extremely expensive and costly to the families. Therefore, because everybody wants to say something, I say pole to the people of Bomet and the people of Kibra. We will continue to pray for them. We will do everything possible in our capacity, as leaders, to continue making this country a better place to live in."
