    "content": "proper nutrition. We have some personnel in the Ministry who are idle and yet, quite a lot needs to be done. We should also sensitise those who have been diagnosed with cancer to help prolong their lives by giving them good nutrition, care and a proper support system. That is why I am in support of the statement which was issued by the Governor of Kisumu County, Prof. Anyang’ Nyong’o that the Government needs to empower more of our personnel in research. If we are able to research well, we can prevent HPV by giving out HPV prevention vaccines. In rural areas, you find people sleeping in a house with no drugs to take and no fare to go to the hospitals for treatment. It is a worrying and pathetic situation. That is why we support Hon. Tecla Tum for coming up with this Motion. Our people cannot afford some of the screenings we are talking about. When you talk of Kshs100 or Kshs200 that is requested at the time of screening, a person who does not have food to cook at home for her children cannot afford. By the time you start feeling the pain, the cancer is already in stage three or four. This person will not go for that screening. But if it is made free, followed by civic education by personnel from the relevant Ministry, we shall be able to prevent and minimise the cases that we have today."
