I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the Integrated Health Information Technology System (IHTS), Project of the Social Health Authority (SHA), which aims to digitise Kenya's health infrastructure by interconnecting patients, doctors, hospitals and health services on a unified platform. The system is going to be worth over Kshs104 billion annually. It was awarded to a consortium comprising of Safaricom, Apeiro Limited and Convergence Network Solutions. In the statement, I would want the committee to- (1) Explain the ownership model for the Integrated Health Information Technology System and state whether a national security system assessment was done considering that this system will connect our country's health infrastructure, including patients, doctors, hospitals, health products and health financing on this unified platform. (2) Explain how a foreign entity was engaged to leverage the country's health system. (3) Outline the distinct roles and responsibilities between the Ministry of Health, the SHA in the procurement and oversight of the IHTS system, specifying the monthly payment terms that have been agreed upon between the consortium and the Ministry of Health, SHA and whether these payments are linked to the performance matrixes or milestones achievable. (4) Find out whether there is a detail-specific improvement in our healthcare delivery and patient outcomes expected by the Ministry of Health following the implementation of the IHTS system. (5) Provide details of the consortium of Safaricom---"
