    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir and Members. On the question raised by Sen. Mariam Omar regarding the students who are stranded, first of all, I want to confirm that the Ministry notified the Ministry of Education that EduAfya would come to an end. The Ministry of Education was supposed to inform its members of the end date of EduAfya. The reason there was an end date is because this was the end of a contract. It is expected that the Ministry of Education should have made alternative arrangements. I have had a meeting with my colleague Cabinet Secretary for Education. We agreed that should they need the service to be covered, for those who are still in India, they need to write to the Ministry, so that they give an undertaking of payment of the premium, so that it can be covered. So far, we have not received a letter of extension from the Ministry of Education. We have not received an undertaking from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) to take care of those bills. On the clarity raised by Sen. Mandago, I acknowledge that I spoke about Kshs5.5 billion and Kshs8.5 billion. I would like to clarify that Kshs5.5 billion will come from the National Treasury and Kshs3 billion will come from the NHIF reserves. We will have a total of Kshs8.5 billion to take care of the payment of claims. On the last question and concern from Sen. Wambua, I would like to confirm that the Kenya Kwanza Government has not moved away from its manifesto. Implementation of a manifesto is a continuous exercise. This Government is in office for the next five years. We have a plan for the implementation of the Kenya Kwanza Manifesto. I submit."
