    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the President told us that the economy has grown by leaps and bounds. However, the growth must be reflected in social engineering and changing the lives of Kenyans by giving them clean water, better health care, better roads and everything else. Above all, even a person who does not travel on our roads, falls sick. A person who has not gone to school falls sick. Even a person who does not work, falls sick. The poor of the poor also fall sick. That is the ring-fence that we want this Bill to create. If this Bill does not create such a ring-fence, it falls short of the glory that we expect from our Committee. Mama Mary Seneta is staring at me and nodding in approval. When this Bill goes to the Committee stage, I would like her to bring one fundamental amendment; that the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) is going to cover the low and the mighty in Kenya; that it matters not who you are because when you are sick, the pain of a poor man and a rich man is the same. The attention of a doctor to a poor man and a rich one is the same. This is the only way that this House will stand and be counted as a true defender of not only devolution but the people of Kenya who constitute the units of devolution. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
