    "content": "Parliament will forget the possibility of making an extra buck by bringing an amendment that is not in the interest of the ordinary Kenyan citizen. In my view, this Bill will be a measure of our patriotism as legislators. This Bill will help the Kenya Kwanza Government to deliver on its promise of Universal Health Care (UHC). The issue of UHC cuts across both the Kenya Kwanza Coalition and the Azimio la Umoja One Alliance during the campaigns. In this instance, we legislators must forget our political persuasions and stand with the ordinary Kenyans. Lastly, healthcare for those who are of low means has been sustained through fundraisers in this country. In a week, every Member of Parliament has to participate in between five and 10 fundraisers. This includes fundraisers for people who just happen to have seen you on television and know that you are a legislator. Kenyans have cried for long. It is time we legislators heeded and sort out the cries of Kenyans for a better healthcare system. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support."
