    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also extend my condolences to the family and all the people that were being represented by hon. Suleiman Dori. His death was very untimely, as Sen. Wetangula has said. We were together last week in the gym; he was jovial and was doing well. I regret the death that has affected all of us very negatively. He was a great man. First, I really admired his approach towards matters politics. When he talked even in the rallies about the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), he was so particular irrespective of his political inclination. He would address matters that touch the common man when it comes to the objects of the BBI. He was a great man. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I read in the newspapers that he was suffering from blood cancer. Cancer has become a disaster in our country. Where I come from, every week we bury about 10 members of our society who die of cancer. The Government should take this issue very seriously and even make screening a public exercise that is mandatory to everyone. Cancer management and treatment is very expensive. The fundraising meetings that we attend every weekend have emptied our pockets. This disease has left families very poor. We must take it seriously and ensure that this particular terminal disease is entirely taken over by the Government. I condole with the family, and may his soul rest in peace."
