Oku Kaunya","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I support this Petition. It is a very important Petition on two major points. The key point is the question of public participation. I urge the Committee that will look at this to look at the overall performance of NHIF. This is the major body that does insurance undertaking as a public entity, and this should really be run efficiently. Some of these improvements at the NHIF should bring on board, and ensure that not only is this Edu-Afya Scheme for our students and other schemes that are in operation modernised but they should be made more efficient and effective, especially with application of technology. I support the Petition."}
