    "content": "I want to say this on record: If we do not bring in sexual education at its earliest time in our education system and we discuss this matter with our boys and girls, certain cancers are going to stay with us for quite a long time and we are going to die as Kenyans. It is important, other than the vaccination that we give against HPV, that we tell our boys and girls without any matter of doubt that when they go having early sex, one of the things that they are going to predispose themselves to is certain aspects of cancer. We are not going to dwell so much on vaccination. Vaccination is an important aspect of prevention, but why vaccinate and go spreading cancer through sex? Members, we know ourselves in this House. We know our leaders who are outside there, and even business people who have a lot of money. My friend, go sleeping around with everybody everywhere, but you will be predisposed to cancer of the penis. It is not only about cervical cancer, since you are going to predispose yourself to cancer of the anus. HPV has also been found to be a problem with cancer of the breast. So, it is not only about cancer of the cervix that we are talking about here. It is a serious matter that we need to address as the leadership of this country and as people who are serious about reducing the mortality rate in Kenya."
