    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, another one is 1(b) which states that the national Government shall be liable as a contributor to the Fund on behalf of the orphans and vulnerable. It is important because now the Government will be able to take care even through the programme of Inua Jamii, orphans and all the vulnerable in the society. Therefore, if this can be achieved, it will be very important and will assist most of our people. The unfortunate thing is that sometimes you go to the hospital, you lose somebody, people do an harambee to defray medical expenses and then you have funeral expenses. Another aspect that I want to comment on and the third point is on the issue of formation of the management fund. When you look at (g), it talks about one person not being a governor. It is important that at least two persons are included because health has been a devolved function. Mr. Speaker, Sir, (h) talks about two persons not being public officers appointed by the CS. The CS already has a representative through the Permanent Secretary (PS). Therefore, this slot should go to the Public Service Commission (PSC). They have indicated here that the nominating body under the paragraph shall afford equal opportunities to men women, youth and Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), minorities and marginalized groups and ensure regional balance. From where I speak, we must ensure that when the management committee or board is formed, this must be provided for. In terms of the UHC, a right of access to medical health is provided in Article 43 of the Constitution---"
