    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The cost of treating COVID-19 is very high. By the time I left the hospital, I had incurred a bill of Kshs3million. This is not an amount that an ordinary person can pay. If I was told to pay from my pocket, I would have strained or called for Harambee . How about that common mwananchi ? The cost of testing COVID-19 in Kenya is very high and beyond reach. It cost about Kshs5,000 to Kshs20,000 to test for OOVID-19. Nowadays, when you go to hospital for any illness, the first thing they tell you to do is to test for COVID-19. The moment you test positive, any other medical expense that you incur is not covered. Even diabetes is excluded in a situation where you suffer from diabetes and you are found to be suffering from COViD-19. We have to come up with a way to ensure that the ordinary mwananchi is covered from the COVID-19 pandemic.
