    "content": "that will enable the NHIF to create a proper working policy so that we are able to give services to the people in the villages. The availability of medical care, medicines and medical supplies is pegged on the availability and order fulfilment rate of Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). This institution has been crippled by the unavailability of funds, and their turnaround time right now is very low. All this is because KEMSA is supposed to have a budget, which it fills through its own operations. This House had seen it fit before to allocate KEMSA some money so that procurement of basic but very essential medical supplies are available to our people. I urge that we capitate this organisation so that our people have medical supplies available to them when needed. They should not die of very common illnesses and lack of proper healthcare. I also want to talk a bit on importation. Looking in this House, everything here has come from another country. We have a robust textile industry, if given proper support. This is what will create employment to our people, because we cannot talk of development when we have a deficit payment which grew to US$2.5 billion last year. For us to stop this, we must create a tax regime that hampers importation of essential goods that can be manufactured here and that encourages the manufacture of the same, so that we create employment and improve on our balance of payment."
