    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to add my voice to this Motion on the adoption of the Report of the Committee on Finance and Budget on the Budget Policy Statement (BPS). I wish to note the following issues on the BPS. Being a Member of the Committee on Health, I noticed that there is no budget that has been allocated for the implementation of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Bill that we have just passed as a House. This Bill was to bring smiles on the faces of Kenyans in terms of healthcare services. However, without a budget for the implementation of these reforms, then the National Treasury is just taking Kenyans back to where we were. This is because there are no health facilities that will be built in our counties. There is no budget for recruitment of more healthcare service providers. We know it has been a big problem. There is no budget for expansion of the capacity of the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) to train middle level healthcare workers. Therefore, the implementation of this important NHIF reforms will just be there in black and white, but there is no budget for its implementation."
