    "content": "On the UHC, the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) as it stands carries the name ‘insurance’, but really does not operate like an insurer. It comes under the regulation and the supervision of the Insurance Regulatory Authority as it is in our statutes, but every year, it requests for a waiver, so that it is not supervised like private insurance companies. That is to tell you that it is always hiding behind the name ‘insurance’. It does not collect premiums. I actually appreciate the approach the President has taken to overhaul the NHIF and rebrand it to make sure it is a universal health care giver. Finally, I can see the lights are on, but the President emphasised on drought, which is ravaging Wajir North and other ASALs areas. I think we need to reconsider and re-strategise on matters drought. We must bring on preparedness so that we can mitigate drought before it strikes. Otherwise, I appreciate and support the President’s Speech. Thank you, Hon Deputy Speaker."
