    "content": "For the three financial years requested by the Member of Parliament for Ikolomani, the NHIF disbursed a total of Ksh14,550,650,327 broken down as follows: In the 2020/2021 Financial Year, Ksh4, 950,996,788. In the 2021/2022 Financial Year, Ksh4, 659,611,252 and in the 2022/2023 Financial Year, Ksh4,940,042,287. More so, for the 2022/2023 Financial Year, 253,400 persons were supported under the health subsidy programmes for orphans and vulnerable children. In the same year, 587,900 people were supported under the health subsidy programme for older persons and persons with severe disabilities. In the same year, 978,484 persons were supported under the Universal Healthcare (UHC) programme. On the second part of the Question, since April 2023, my Ministry has endeavoured to reach out to all Government entities that owe money to the Fund. Of the Ksh26 billion owed to the Fund, we have received Ksh13 billion from other Government agencies at the close of the 2022/2023 Financial Year. This is a continuous exercise and I will not tire of reminding all agencies that owe money to the Fund to meet their obligations for effective and efficient service delivery to all Kenyans, who depend on us. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have the tabulation per county but it is a huge document of about 20 pages. If I went through the entire document I would take a lot of time but I stand guided. I have it with me here."
