    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to voice my support to the Petitioner for bringing up this important issue. As we transition to a new Fund, there is need to carry out certain audits, like the one brought up by the petitioner. It is unfortunate that the main purpose of NHIF, which is to take care of the vulnerable so that they can access health services, is now being collapsed by greedy individuals. The revelations by the Petitioner of fraud in NHIF amounting to Ksh21 billion is shocking. There is need for us as a country to relook at this issue. Our public health centres and hospitals are collapsing as result of mushrooming private hospitals. The intention and target is to syphon public money from the NHIF. I support the Petitioner and hope that the issue is taken seriously. We should ensure that the new entity, the Social Health Insurance Fund, is not collapsed by private hospitals whose intention is to steal from the public. With those few, remarks I support the Petition."
