• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I support and I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. At one point, I was the Secretary to the Ministry of Youth and Sports. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I was the Secretary in those days during the Kibaki administration. This idea of an executive chairman was very troublesome at that time. So, the amendment of a non-executive chairperson, who shall be a youth, appointed by the President is appropriate and it sorts out the power struggles which have been with the youth. The whole amendment including the presence of the Attorney General to give the youth legal advice appropriately is good. Mainly, it was proposed that this is handled by people who are youth so that even those seconded by the Principal Secretary all fit under the youth ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. Cancer Prevention and Control Act exists and this is an amendment to embrace new technology which is e-health and tele- medicine, which will help the people who suffer from cancer. We know that cancer is a very dangerous disease. People suffer from it and become terminally ill. If it is not discovered early, it can cause losses for quite a number of people. Therefore, owing to the new developments in the world, and what we have seen with the advent of coronavirus, people ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: In this regard, you can have tele-medicine where someone in India can communicate with a person or a doctor here or in any part of the country. This is the whole idea of the amendment. This is to make sure that the Act is comprehensive and the activities that happen in the course of treatment are within that law to prevent and control the spread of cancer. This amendment will also encourage information flow. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: A lot of it is more of information. When cancer patients have information early enough, they can get healed of it. This includes very delicate cancer like pancreatic cancer. There are specific hospitals in the United States of America, where they guide each other. Doctors or surgeons can share the information electronically. It then means we are formalizing the use of e- waves technology so that there can be communication. I believe surgeons in other parts of the world have been guided electronically. An operation can also be guided from a specialist or a senior person in another country, while ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The other issue is prevention. The main idea is prevention to ensure that many people or the population does not get cancer. This information is crucial. Sometimes, we get unverified information by medical practitioners on how to prevent cancer. For example, processed foods have been blamed as oxidants which can activate the growth of unusual cells. That is information that 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. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: can be passed by many. Many people are aware of what to do to avoid ending up with cancer. In the event it is discovered at early stages, then one can be guided. Quite a number of people have been saved through information and getting information is good. That includes information on testing of cancer and looking for specialists. This information can be relayed electronically and it is valid and cannot be challenged for being illegal or amounting to a mis-advice or a suit arising out of it, if a person feels that they have not been dealt with correctly. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Mostly, there are foods which also have stopped cancer or a cancer patient is relieved of pain and lives longer. This information can be relayed electronically and it becomes valid and qualified. This is the background under which Hon. Wanga moved this amendment Bill. Hon. Wanga has a lot of information on issues of prevention of cancer, and I believe it is good to support her in this amendment so that we can ensure that the Act is tight and as many people as possible in Kenya and the world can be assisted. In addition, when we come up with ... view
