    "content": "I also want to emphasise something on the universal healthcare. That is where we should really go. If you remember, right from Independence, one of the areas the founding fathers of this country undertook to focus on was the issue of health but up to now, it is not getting any better. Perhaps, it is getting worse. We should really resolve that no citizen should die from diseases that are preventable. In many cases, they die because they cannot afford to go to hospitals or buy medicine. The best thing is to go the way of universal healthcare. This is an area that if we, as Members of the 11th Parliament can deliver to Kenyans, they will remember us for a long time. The vehicle that can do that for us is the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). It just needs to be reformed and modernised for the processes and systems to be put right. I believe that it is able to attain universal healthcare. It does not have to be in one year, we can do it progressively even if it takes five years. Eventually every Kenyan should get medical attention as and when they need it."
