• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Just two weeks ago, we lost one great Chief Executive Officer in Africa to cancer. We lost our colleagues just last week because of this menace of cancer. That is why anything to do with cancer must be supported and is emotional. view
• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Cancer is a worldwide issue. It is high time every country in the world declared cancer a disaster. The HPV vaccination that Hon. Tecla is trying to bring here… We know this disease is very common among young people, especially our daughters in secondary schools and universities. view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: It will be a good idea if we subject our daughters to this free vaccination since we know their economic status does not allow them to carry out such an expensive exercise. That is why the introduction of free vaccination will help many people. Each Member has lost a relative to cancer. I have lost many relatives and that is why this issue must be addressed seriously. There have been a lot of theories regarding the causes of cancer. We have been advised not to expose ourselves to extreme sun heat, to eat well and do many things to prevent ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: That is why I am here to support this Motion. Our women must be subjected to free vaccine, so that we can prevent cancer. We are not only talking about women.

We should screen others like prostate cancer, which is common in men. view
