"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to thank my sister for bringing this Motion so that we can speak about this subject. Hon. Temporary Speaker, SHA was well-intended to ensure that every Kenyan gets access to good healthcare. However, I agree with my colleagues that there are challenges in transition. Just like any other programme or project, there will be those teething problems when it is being implemented. I think that is where we should focus, but there are also successes. I am just from my constituency. The whole of last week, I was not in Parliament. I was engaged in public participation. One of the issues I was sensitising my people about was on SHA and they said they did not know it. The Chairman told us that we need to sensitise and educate Kenyans so that they know what SHA is, the premiums, how to pay and how they can benefit. That information is lacking. And while we were doing public participation, one of my constituents, when returning back home, broke his hand and we rushed him to one of the private hospitals in town, and we were told we needed to deposit Ksh100,000 cash money, which we did not have. I demanded that the patient be transferred to Bungoma, where we looked for a hospital. We were being asked to pay Ksh70,000, which we did not have. Before we went to Bungoma, I made sure the patient was registered with SHA. So, we managed to get a hospital in Bungoma that accepted to admit the patient from Teso South in Busia County, and he was treated. I only paid Ksh25,000. As I am talking to you, he was discharged yesterday. So, the problem is lack of information."

"content": "The problem is equipping our hospitals properly. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health, I want you to listen to me. We must put a proper budget for health so that we do not depend on donor funding. In the last budget, for diseases like cancer, we only gave them Ksh250,000. That was for both recurrent expenditure and to establish cancer centres across the country. What can Ksh50 million do? Ksh200 million was for the recurrent budget. So, we need to equip. If you go to Busia County Referral Hospital, you will find three mothers in the maternity ward sleeping on one bed. We must improve the facilities even as we work on improving the transition to Social Health Authority (SHA). The problem is in the equipment in our facilities. We need more doctors in the hospitals, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Thank you."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank my sister, Hon. Lilian Gogo, for bringing this Adjournment Motion. As other speakers have said, SHIF was well-intentioned. However, the trust deficit that it has brought about and lack of stakeholder engagement is wanting. I say so because in every county and constituency, we have Government officers up to the level of assistant chiefs. If all the administrators were called and educated about this insurance fund and given the requisite information… These people - assistant chiefs, chiefs, Assistant County Commissioners (ACCs), and Deputy County Commissioners (DCCs) are paid by the Government. You know, we cannot, depend on politicians who will politicise everything and want to seize the moment, even on things already passed in this House, just to paint how bad some things are because they think they are on the other side of the division. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I stand here money in my payslip has been deducted and so for other civil servants. We feel the pain of the deductions, however, we really enjoy when our people get services. Every Member of Parliament here, I am sure every weekend is being called for Harambee, even when they know they are banned. You are being asked to contribute for a sick person. It is on humanitarian ground. You cannot start telling them Harambees were banned. Hon. Temporary Speaker, health is not a privilege to Kenyans. It is a basic human right. It should not be a luxury. We do not have the option of deciding whether Kenyans should have"

"content": "proper health coverage. They must have it. It is a must, Hon. Temporary Speaker. So, what am I saying? This thing requires proper stakeholder engagement and we create proper awareness. On the trust deficit, we should be honest to ourselves as leaders. For a very long time in this country, health has been a privilege of the rich and I think that is what the President is trying to change. It should not be a privilege of the rich. It should be a right of every Kenyan. We know a healthy nation is a wealthy nation. If our people are healthy, they will go about their businesses. They will contribute to the economy of this country. It is not whether we are going to provide them with that or not. We must. As a House, we must take responsibility. The NHIF was marred with a lot of corruption. Even as we..."
