    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to support this Bill. It is a very important Bill to our country. It is a health Bill. I know we have old people in our country. We also have people living with disability. This Kshs500 for the NHIF card is very expensive for them. They cannot pay Kshs500 per month. Also, remember we do not have medicine for the old people and people living with disability in dispensaries in our country. In my Juja Constituency, our dispensaries like Gachororo Dispensary, Kwa Mundia Dispensary and Athi Dispensary do not have medicine. Also, we do not have nurses to serve the people. I urge the Government, if possible, as all of us know, health is already devolved according to the Constitution. In our County Government of Kiambu, they do not give us those services in our hospitals and in dispensaries. I urge the Government to make sure that county governments are doing their work. Failure to that, we are going to amend the Constitution to make sure that health facilities are given back to the national Government. For those few remarks, I support the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
