    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also wish to support this Motion. Indeed, looking at the allocation of about Kshs27 billion to this very crucial Ministry compared to what had been requested - over Kshs36 billion, it is not adequate to provide and fund this vital Ministry. Indeed, for many years, we have been referring to the Abuja and Maputo declarations. We have talked about governments in this continent setting aside about 10 per cent of their budgets towards agriculture to ensure national food security. Indeed, this has become a song. We have talked about this year in, year out. When it comes to health, the Abuja Declaration has become a similar song. If you look at the allocation to this Ministry this year, you will find that it is not sufficient. However, we are glad that the Ministry has plans to ensure that there is accessible and affordable healthcare for all Kenyans. The proposed National Health Insurance Fund Bill that will be brought before this House is something that will receive our support because it is overdue. There have been previous attempts to bring such a Bill before this House. When Mrs. Ngilu was the Minister for Health, she moved the Bill before this House but it did not go through. We hope this time round, when the Bill that is now"
