    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to contribute on the National Health Insurance Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2021. All of us agree that medical expenses are expensive to most of our people in this country. Most of us in both the National Assembly and the Senate are always participating in harambees to defray medical bills. If there is any strategy to ensure that we do away with medical expenses and ensure that Kenyans are able to pay medical bills, then it is important. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are only two points that I want to mention. One is in Clause 19. It talks about the national Government, the county government and any other employer matching and being liable contributors to the Fund in respect of public officers. This will ensure that we protect and put in place the necessary mechanisms where they can be held accountable. This one is very important because it assists and makes liable contributors to the Fund in respect of public officers."
