    "content": "UHC. I think we have heard and listened to Sen. Cheruiyot while he was making his presentation on the trials and mistrials on this particular UHC agenda. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate my colleague Members of the Senate Committee for a job well done. This is a very fantastic piece of legislation. It has got very amazing clauses here. It is time to walk the talk. We have had this provision for far too long and we are not realizing any progressive results and commitments towards implementing UHC. I quickly want to speak to Section 2 of that particular Bill on the expenditure Committee. This is a very powerful committee that we intend to establish in all the counties. I want to urge the governors and those responsible in implementing this particular Bill, that it is time to walk the talk. Please do not appoint your cronies, proxies or girlfriends to this very crucial expenditure committee that will be in charge in rolling out this finance improvement fund. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know in most cases we need to appoint people who have the skills and competencies to run this fund. I want to urge and request governors across the country to pay a visit to Kwale County and learn from the changes that former Gov. Salim Mvurya and Governor Fatuma Achani made in terms of sound appointments to the hospital boards in Kwale County. We have people who are well-equipped, people with proper knowledge and know-how and the technical capacity to run this particular office. It is my plea to the governors to appoint people who are coming on board with the requisite skill set and competency required of them to run this particular fund. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an amazing Bill. I urge and reiterate the fact that I am in support of this Bill. It is still work in progress. It is not cast in stone; we can improve on it. I want to assure my colleagues from the other side that we a room to make amendments, sound ones for that matter, so that we can realize and achieve the whole UHC agenda in peace. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
