    "content": "What exactly do we want to achieve? When we come up with laws, we want to help our citizens and this should be the case with the NHIF when it is licensing facilities. Many facilities are paralysed today because the NHIF does not pay them the money that is due. There is a lot of corruption. I was talking to a previous MP, Hon. John Mututho, regarding a facility that he has in Naivasha and he told me that he had to go to court to compel the NHIF to pay him. For you to be paid your money, you have to part with money. So, that corruption in itself deters medical covers because anybody on drug rehabilitation and requires assistance will not get it. When we are looking at the law, we have to also look at the measures and ensure that the entities that we are making laws for are in tune with the requirements on the ground. I have seen the NHIF give covers for people who go to India. However, to get that cover, I do not know what must happen for someone to go to India with an NHIF approval. What about the other Kenyans who need that treatment but do not know how to access that service?"
