    "content": "woman, an excellent professional and politician. I remember Hon. Ken Okoth as a person who was committed to human rights for all through his programme of SDGs which he had put in place in Kibra Constituency. I also remember both of them in their talk and the cases they put forth before those of us who had occasion to meet them. They always urged us to do something about cancer. I hope the country will focus on it. If we were able to kick out small pox, polio and measles, we should be able to kick out cancer too. I call upon this House to ensure that we begin to look at food safety issues and early screening programmes at a primary health level so that we reach everyone. Today, I look at the story of Hon. Ken Okoth, Hon. Joyce Laboso, and others who have fallen before them to the scourge of cancer and I realise that they are the voices of those in the countryside who are unable to get cancer screening. Those of us who have medical insurance are fine because we have a choice to be screened or not. But there are those people who go to local dispensaries and get misdiagnosed because there is no primary caregiver who even understands the symptoms of cancer."
