    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Oketch Gicheru for donating his time to me. I will donate my time to him when that opportunity comes. I will begin by thanking the Mover of this Bill, Sen. Cheruiyot. When he was moving it, he made it clear that it is one of four Bills whose aim is to ensure that we entrench Universal Health Care in the practice of medicine in this country. It is not an idle saying that prevention is better than cure. When we focus on preventive healthcare, we are likely to attain a healthy nation. There is evidence of this. We remember the COVID-19 Pandemic. Everyone was focused on sanitizing, cleaning surfaces and washing hands. The level of health in our country – there was a time I took my son to Getrude’s Children’s Hospital and there were no children. People had observed the basics of healthcare and we had fewer sick people. Based on the particulars of the Bill, perhaps each Senator would have been given 20 minutes to contribute, however, 10 minutes will do us well. This is an important piece of legislation that we need to discuss and debate robustly. I will begin with the objects of the Bill. It perfectly captures the aspirations of Article 43(1) (a) of the Constitution -"
