    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health on the abnormal rise in accreditation of new clinics and health facilities across the country by the Board of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) after the rollout of Universal Health Coverage programme. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Indicate the number of health facilities per year, per county, accredited by NHIF in the past four years (2019-2023) vis-a-vis those of the preceding four years (2014-2018). (2) Disclose the quarterly trajectory of payments made from the Fund to the NHIF-top 20th - percentile-benefactor-hospitals per county, from the day those top-20th - percentile-beneficiary facilities were accredited as hospitals from the year 2019 or whichever is earlier. (3) Cause an investigation on claims of siphoning of the Fund in dubious claims by benefactor health facilities across the country, shedding light on reports of collusion with NHIF staff and directors of such facilities. (4) State measures put in place to recover public funds lost in collusions between employees of the Fund and directors of health facilities. (5) Indicate the amount of funds recovered through such measures instituted by the Fund in the last five years, stating deficiencies and interventions, if any."
