"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Motion. I come from Meru where the cost of treatment of cancer is quite high. Meru is second in cases of cancer in this Republic. Many people really struggle to get cancer treatment. The cost of treating cancer itself and the cost of moving from one place to another is high, and families and patients experience a lot of inconveniences. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we cannot be left behind because there are very many countries that practise telemedicine. So, this Bill has come at the right time. The biggest challenge right now is to ensure that we are all connected to the internet and power everywhere in the country. I am not shy to mention that what the Government is doing now is good particularly in connecting market centres and many other areas to the internet so that it becomes easier to access the service of telemedicine. This amendment Bill is good and we need to pass it. I am happy that the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health is someone who has been in health management, a practitioner and now a Legislator. He should be able to guide us moving forward to ensure that we also put in place legislation that will go towards implementation of this new concept in cancer treatment. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, allow me to thank Hon. Rahim Dawood and Sen. Cherargei for bringing this very important Bill. It is important, before going deep into debate, to know that our people are dying of cancer. I take special mention of the Meru community where we have many cancer cases. Most of the people do not die because of the disease. They die because of lack of information and fear. Out of fear because the cost of treatment is high, and when they are told they have cancer, it normally sounds like a death sentence. This Bill aims at demystifying that and ensuring that our people get renewed hope with trust that technology will be able to sort them out. This is why I am particularly very impressed by telemedicine and e-treatment that is in the market. We should leverage on technology and also not forget that prevention is more important than even the curative part of it. If we can use the community health workers to inform people and give them enough knowledge on what to look for, I am sure our people will go a long way in getting saved from this menace that is clearing them. This is a very important Bill. I wish it reaches the stage where we can comfortably say we are able, if not to completely eliminate cancer and handle it using technology so that our people can live without fear. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": "(Marsabit County, UDA: Thank you for allowing me to add my voice to this very important Motion on consideration of Senate Amendments to the Cancer Prevention and Control (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.45 of 2022). I stand to support this because prevention is better than cure. We know very well that cancer is affecting many Kenyans. These days I am sure each person in every family is either individually affected or one of their loved ones is affected. Cancer is a disease that is taking away lives. It is also making people poor because treating it is quite expensive. The number of people suffering from cancer, those who have died of cancer and the potential of people who can get cancer is very high in Marsabit. That is why I am here to support any initiative we can offer to the people I have termed its potential victims. Anyone of us can get cancer, and God forbid. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "It is good for us to pray that no more Kenyans get cancer. Treatment is expensive. The disease itself is tough and very painful for both the cancer patient and the caregivers. We can overcome it if we give a lot of attention to prevention. We can come up with these kinds of amendments that put measures in place to prevent new cases to the young people and even the older generation. We should adopt a good lifestyle and get the right medication. We should undergo checkups on time and make sure any small sign of cancer is treated. That will really help us. Kenyans can be helped through this amendment. We can overcome the serious disease that is affecting many Kenyans in many parts of this country. Thank you."

"content": " Nampongeza ndugu yangu Rahim kwa kuleta Hoja hii inayokusudia kusaidia wanaougua maradhi ya saratani kupata matibabu kwa kutumia teknolojia mpya. Ndugu yangu Mhe. Rahim, anajua kwamba mna wagonjwa wengi wa saratani huko Meru. Nakupongeza kwa kuleta huu Mswada uwe msaada kwao. Naambia watu wa kule kwamba wamepata kiongozi anayewajali sana. Pia, tuangalie vinavyosababisha hii saratani. Kuna wakati tulizungumza kuhusu kemikali zinazoitwa cathine na cathinone ambazo zinatokana na mmea wa miraa. Ndugu yangu Mhe. Rahim, hata katika Kaunti ya Mombasa nimeona watu wengi wanaotumia miraa wakiathirika sana na maradhi ya saratani. Ni kwa sababu ya hizo kemikali, na si kwa sababu nyingine. Ni lazima tuambiane ukweli tunapozungumza masuala ya afya. Kenya nzima itaangamia tukificha sababu za saratani. Kuleta teknolojia katika matibabu ni vizuri na tunasema asante sana. Hata hivyo, kuzuia ni bora kuliko kutibu. Wananchi waangalie na kupunguza matumizi yao ya mimea kama miraa na mengineyo. Hii ndio sababu kubwa ya saratani kule Meru. Ninyi wenyewe mmeona na kusema kwamba saratani iko kwa wingi kule. Kwa nini? Kwa sababu mmea huu unapandwa sana huko. Pia, kuna kemikali tunazokula kwenye chakula. Akina mama pia wanapata maradhi hayo. Ninaunga mkono kuletwa kwa teknolojia hii ili isaidie kutibu akina mama na hasa wazee. Tumalize kabisa mambo ya saratani katika taifa hili. Waambiwa mficha uchi hazai. Ndiyo maana tunaambiana ukweli. Kama saratani ingekuwepo kwa wingi kwetu, hata mimi ningesema kwamba sababu kubwa ni kitu fulani."
