    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was moving the Bill. I said that the Bill proposes to amend Section 6 of the Act by bringing on board two County Directors in the Board from the Council of Governors (CoG). We have also added a new Part 3 to the Act because this Bill proposes to align the Act to the functions of the County Government. Clauses 5 and 6 of the Bill propose to amend Section 20 and 21 of the Act to obligate the county governments to maintain county cancer registers specific to the respective counties. Clause 7 of the Bill seeks to amend the Act by inserting a new Part 3A to address the prevention and control of cancer in counties. The Bill also proposes a new Section 22A which makes provision for the roles of county government in the prevention and control of cancer in counties, obligating county governments to establish cancer centers and palliative care facilities, employ adequate personnel and implement national policies and standards. The proposed new Section 22B makes it mandatory for every county to establish a county centre within the respective counties. The functions of the County Cancer Center are set out under proposed new Section 22C. The proposed new Section 22D on its part outlines the framework for reporting by a County Cancer Centre. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the burden of cancer is placing a huge burden to the country, particularly those people responsible suffer a lot. This is what I intend to present and I will ask Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve to second."
