    "content": ". A person can either be moved to Public Service, retire voluntarily, or if one is competent, then we retain them. We want NHIF to also perform. Haya mambo ni matatu yaRais. Lazima tuyafuate. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Social Health Insurance Fund will be presenting its budget to the National Assembly for approval. Once it is approved, it cannot be amended, unless through a supplementary paper that will still come to the House. This is to control abuse. In the past, NHIF would make a budget proposal and present it to the Board. Then, the Board would implement it but the process was prone to abuse. It will now be up to the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Health to approve that budget. Once it is approved, you can only make amendments through a supplementary budget. This is a complete shift from what it was before, where people sat and came up with proposals; with some of them costing billions of shillings. This is where we are talking about cartels. The Leader of the Majority Party said that there are cartels which think they can bring amendments to this Bill so as to continue doing what they have been doing. You have been warned that it will not happen. We will ensure that things are done in a proper and transparent manner."
