    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir remember that this Bill was brought to this House in 2005. The House passed it but it was not signed into law by the President then for good reasons because there were certain loopholes that needed to have been plugged. These loopholes include, among other things, the indices or how the poor can be covered using Exchequer resources. Secondly, it also means identifying who the poor are and at what source. This requires a lot of analysis. That is what we are doing at the moment. We want the indices for identifying the poor to be established at the constituency level. The poor should have their records kept at the nearest health facility so that they can be tracked easily so that when money is allocated for covering the poor, it will actually cover the poor. We have done a Cabinet Memo and we are at the point of checking those indices to make sure that when the Bill finally comes to this House, it will pass and the President will sign it into law because the loopholes would have been plugged."
