    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this very important Motion by Hon. Anthony Kiai. It is really a matter that requires deep reflection. The essence of it is that we are going to see helpless Kenyans not getting even the most basic medical support they would have got, simply because they have contracted COVID-19. They would be doing so with an institution such as NHIF that has the responsibility for, even if they are members, coming to the aid of members; but which has notoriously got into the news for mishandling billions of shillings. They will be looking at an institution that ought to be their savior, but which has been so corrupt that it is unable to save them. They will be looking at a sector in which the recent headlines we have seen in the papers, most of which are true, including Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA), discussing COVID-19 with billions being lost... They will be at a loss as to what is happening when they helplessly need somebody to come to their aid. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the value chain of health management, including the insurable aspects through parastatals like NHIF is awfully off-track. Somebody must take charge. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) concerned should take keen interest on how to streamline that chain The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
