    "content": "Okay, I am aware. I congratulate Sen. Okenyuri but also request further information. I do not know if, in their own Motion, the Committee on Health should give us an update on this issue of Social Health Authority (SHA). We have seen a lot of challenges that Kenyans are facing when registering for the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) across the country. We are being told there is a breakdown to access this service. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you direct under Standing Order No.1, that the Committee on Health briefs this House on the status of the rollout of SHA and SHIF across our Level 5 and Level 2 hospitals and their registration? I am happy that the Government indicated yesterday that all National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) employees will be transited to Social Health Authority (SHA) and Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF). We need clarity because we see in the news many Kenyans complaining that they cannot access SHA services in the various hospitals they visit. It is very unfortunate. That must be addressed as an issue of national concern. Concerning the issue of Kenya National Trading Corporation (KNTC), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) should come out very clear on the fight against corruption. The allegations of misappropriation of Kshs6.5 billion by KNTC must be looked at. We hope that the EACC will arrest all perpetrators of this KNTC heist. Finally, on the Statement on data breach by Sen. Oketch Gicheru, you cannot access our data without a court order. What Safaricom is doing is illegal, unconstitutional and must be punished heavily. I expected that the Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) would have already punished Safaricom by infringing the right to privacy. I echo the sentiments of American Ambassador Megan Whitman, who said the infringement of data privacy is a constitutional infringement. I support the Statements, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
