Sen. (Prof.) Lesan Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need two weeks to deal with this. Please, give us two weeks.

Sen. (Prof.) Lesan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am new in office. However, we will try very hard in the first one week to deliver. If we are not successful, we will come back to the House and seek for more time.

Sen. (Prof.) Lesan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also join my colleagues in applauding the nomination of Sen. Billow to the Pan-African Parliament. I commend, congratulate and appreciate the work done by Sen. Murkomen who, when he was in the Pan-African Parliament, he was also a member of the...

Sen. (Prof.) Lesan The part of knowing the Chair before you came to this House. (Laughter) February 16, 2016 SENATE DEBATES Sen. (Prof.) Lesan countries responded to it. Cancer is one of those diseases that need that kind of response, if you are expected to control it.Diagnosis is one of...

Very well. Proceed, Sen. (Prof.) Zani.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would not mind being a professor as well. I thank you for this opportunity. Levels of cancer are increasing at an alarming rate. The type of people who are being affected by cancer is also different. Sometimes February 16, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

be handled by the committees. That is essentially what is missing in the structure. At least, we will now have a body that will give all this information and ensure that they have disseminated it. They should hold a lot of conferences and seminars and get people involved. They can...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity and I also offer my congratulation to you although we had done that last week in absentia and I February 16, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

am very proud of you because you will do justice to that position.

For the interest of some Members, could you clarify yourself? It appears that they are keen on understanding what you mean.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what part of my statement should I clarify?

The part of knowing the Chair before you came to this House. (Laughter)

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, last week, while you were away, I said that I knew you when we were real hustlers and it generated quite a debate. However, the Chair ruled that I do not need to breakdown the meaning of the word “hustler”. I congratulate you and I believe...

What is it Sen. (Dr.) Zani? February 16, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I think what Sen. Elachi is saying is very important and it needs substantiation. Could we have a substation of the crazy things that are being done by Asians?

Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. What I meant - I believe if we leave it to the board to go to Industrial Area and do their own research in all those pharmaceuticals that we have, I believe the way we did with Kenya Airways, we can get a report...

Sen. Elachi, the point of order was with regard to Asians. You have mentioned Asians and their companies doing crazy things. Can you substantiate that particular element?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I withdraw and apologise. However, I have said that the Committee on Health must do something.

So, you have withdrawn?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, yes, I withdrew. Let them bring us a report first. On the issue of cancer, we used to know and it is still a fact that cancer cells are a product of a lineage of a family, but nowadays, even those without that hereditary nature are...
