    "content": "If we range this in terms of the statistics given, breast cancer takes the higher proportion followed by cervical cancer, cancer of the esophagus, prostate cancer and lastly, colorectal cancer. These have become key issues in terms of research including a cancer like leukemia which affects the blood. This is an indication that cancer is a complex disease and as such, a collaborative research initiative should cut across the board. I support this Bill, and I congratulate the Mover, Sen. (Dr.) Ali, because it could not have been more timely than now. I plead that we are able to fast track this Bill through the Senate and the National Assembly so that we are able to quickly set up these centers within the counties because with devolution, this is the quickest and easiest way to get to every Kenyan. Cancer does not select children, adults, or gender. If we are talking about progression and development, then we are losing a key component of people we expect to help in this development. It must be addressed to the level of it being a national disaster. However, it should not be a national disaster that does not have a way forward in terms of being able to address it. It can be addressed and this Bill seeks to do that. I support."
