• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill was passed and signed by His Excellency the President. It has a cost element. So, as a Government, we have drawn up a budget which we have proposed to the Ministry of Finance. If this Parliament approves our proposal, we are going to buy equipment for cancer treatment. The equipment for cancer treatment is very expensive and right now, we do not have a budget to put up all those facilities all over the country. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a different question. However, I can answer it. First, I want to thank the Committee on Health which actually proposed that we be given more money to buy equipment. But, we have not seen that money fly from Treasury to my Ministry. The moment we are given that money, we are going to do it. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that cancer treatment is very expensive. Treating cancer is not like treating Malaria, where you can go to a clinic or a dispensary and be treated. So, we have some budgetary constraints. If you look at our budget, it is very meager, and we are not able to put up all these facilities all over the country at the moment. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have tried, through the media, to advise people to undergo cancer screening. As we are all aware, this is still expensive. As a Ministry, we had proposed a Budget of Kshs80 billion, so that we could buy cancer screening machines and put them in hospitals all over the country. If you look at the budget, this Parliament did not approve that; so, it is not possible to buy all the required equipment for the whole country at the moment. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for smokers, the chances of getting cancer are very high. Also, the type of food that we eat sometimes causes cancer. So, we should change the way we live. Drinking alcohol is also one of the causes of cancer. The list is very long but we should appreciate the fact that we should change our way of living. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have the details of the estimated time of completion, but this should be soon. This is a very important project not only to the people of the Rift Valley, but also to the country at large. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that I do not have the details of the period within which the project will be completed. However, it should be completed the soonest. The engineers and the consultants have already done their work. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we listened very carefully, some of these funds will come from America; sometimes the donors pledge to give us money in time, but they fail to do so within the agreed time. So, if I say three years and it takes five years, it will be wrong for me. For now, as a Ministry, we would like this project to be completed as soon as possible. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg the indulgence of the Chair. We, as a Ministry, had consulted widely over this Question, but we realized it falls under NACADA. NACADA is under the Office of the President. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had earlier indicated that the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security will answer this Question. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will do so. view
