    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I thank Hon. Halima for giving me one minute. I also stand to support this Motion. At the outset, I thank Hon. Tecla Tum for bringing this important Motion. Most of the poverty that is in the villages at the moment is because of the bills that are incurred by our people because of this disease called cancer, which is one of the leading causes of death in our nation today. Cervical cancer is also one of the leading causes of death to women. Therefore, I support the Motion and request the Government to allow free cancer screening for women and also issuance of the HPV vaccine to our boys and girls in school to be able to prevent the onset of cancer and also for early treatment of cancer. At the same time, I request the Government to put aside some money for research on cancer in this nation. The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) should up their game because cancer is one of the lifestyle diseases. They should maintain standards of the foods that are imported into our country and even the inputs that we use in planting our crops. The KEBS should take lead in maintaining those standards."
