• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: As it has been said by my other colleagues, people in other parts of the country cannot access treatment. We want to advise the Government that cancer treatment be devolved to the county level, so that each of the 47 counties has equipment for diagnosis and treatment of cancer, so that the population out there is able to access cancer treatment nearby and cheaply. There is need for this Government to give sufficient money for training experts on cancer. We do not have ten oncologists in this country or even oncology nurses. All technicians are below ten.

• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: So, the Government must take deliberate efforts. It is good that the Minister is here. We want to urge the Minister to seriously talk to the Ministry of Finance so that he can be given sufficient resources urgently. There is no hon.

Right now, I have a patient that I am treating in my own house - a mother with breast cancer who cannot be treated by anybody because of prohibitive ... view

The Board should competitively recruit a professional human resource firm to shortlist the candidates and submit their names to the board for interview. The board should therefore, forward the names to the parent Ministry for onward transmission to the President to appoint a CEO from amongst the names submitted. view
