    "content": "There is a clause that later on, when the new clauses come, I will be introducing. It is on introduction of a centralised healthcare provider management system. Clause 17 is talking about the Board paying, from the Fund, an empanelled or contracted health care provider. It will be paying for an expense incurred by the provider with regard to the provision of health care services through the centralised healthcare provider management system. The biggest challenge that the NHIF has faced is fraud. People at the NHIF collude with healthcare service providers and hospitals to make fake claims. So, the idea here is to introduce a centralised healthcare management system such that if I am treated, say, at a hospital in Homa Bay and biometrically, I am identified, then, immediately my record should be reflected in the centralised healthcare management system. That way, I cannot sit under a tree at the end of the month as the hospital manager and fill in forms of imaginary patients that I did not see. That way, we will be saving money for the NHIF and for Kenyans. That is the gist of this amendment and the upcoming ones for purposes of dealing with that new clause that we will be introducing later on the centralised management system."
