    "content": " Hon. Masara is the immediate neighbour of the Whip of the Minority Party in Suna West and, therefore, he must be compliant to what the Whip of the Minority Party says. I thank the Whip of the Minority Party. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is in recognition of the fact that healthcare has been a major challenge to the people we represent. The enactment of these two Bills that we have considered this afternoon… The Health Facilities Improvement Bill and the Primary Health Care Bill are being considered by the Senate in Turkana County Assembly. When they are relayed to this House, I will beg for the same support because these four Bills will constitute that transformative bottom-up agenda on the health sector as we promised during the campaigns. It is in the Manifesto that we sold to the people of Kenya. As I thank all the Members who have contributed, let me once again… I still had reservations pertaining the fate of the staff at NHIF. I know it is something that Hon. Junet spoke about as he contributed. This Bill is not firing anybody. Not a single member of staff, other than he or she who will opt out to either retire or do other things in life, will be fired. This Bill guarantees the staff at NHIF that they will continue being officers or staff of NHIF for a transitional period of one year as the Social Health Insurance Fund Authority is being set up. The Authority shall recruit staff and priority shall be given to those staff who are already working with the Fund. Those who opt to retire, may opt to retire. Those who want to be redeployed in the Civil Service, will be redeployed. With those many remarks. I beg to reply and thank all the Members for the great support. Thank you."
