    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I really appreciate. I have been waiting for this opportunity for long. I want to be very brief so that you put the question. I had two concerns, but I am happy that when Hon. Nyikal spoke, my concerns were addressed. My first concern is on the issue of outsourcing claims. If we accept that as a House, we will be creating the biggest cartels in this country. So, this is a provision we must amend as the Committee has recommended. I hope that this amendment will be carried in this House. The second concern was the issue of the current staff members of NHIF. The drafting of the Bill is very poor. I recommend 100 per cent transition of all staff members of NHIF as currently constituted when we get to effect this Bill. We will then use the internal appraisal system to determine who is fit to remain or exit. Let us not allow people to exit before they are taken on board by the new Authority. If those two matters are addressed, I will support this Bill 100 per cent. It is generally good and it will be a positive step towards providing primary and universal healthcare to the Kenyan population. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support. Thank you."
