Nyali MP, Mohammed Ali, has posed two tough questions for president Uhuru Kenyatta regarding the cancer menace in the country.
On his Facebook page, the MP noted that it was the government's duty to safeguard the health care of its citizens. He went ahead and directed two questions at the president.
"What happened to the 5 special hospitals you promised to build to tame the cancer scourge? How long should we wait?" he inquired.
In a video dated March 14, 2018, the Nyali MP made a passionate appeal to his fellow parliamentarians regarding the status of health facilities in Kenya.
The MP noted that diseases like cancer were wiping out many people, regardless of their status in the society.
"The Lord is also not forgiving the parliamentarians because when we get sick, we go to high-end hospitals, we board planes to other countries in search of better health care. However, we are returned back to the country in caskets," the MP remarked.
"We're always in a lot of pain when one of us leaves us. We use a lot of money in a bid to make sure that they get better, but then it hurts when they come back dead," he added.
The MP noted that since he brought up the debate in Parliament, nothing much had been done to change the situation.
"To date, little has been done. I won't get tired to make the same clarion call to all of us to lead from the front and act! It is up to us to provide critical solutions to safeguard the health of the citizens," Mohammed divulged.
