    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The issue concerning the new model of health provision in this country requires a consortium of all of us to deal with. It does not require people to take podiums on one side and say that this is succeeding, while another team sits on the other side to say it is not, as that will not help us. Another thing I want to say about this is that it does not even require quick statistics of those we have either treated or done, say, dialysis. I am seated very close to the Chairman and he gave the statistics. The Hon. Leader of the Majority Party also went ahead to give a lot of statistics. I was in a meeting over the weekend, where the Cabinet Secretary for Health was called upon to speak on this matter. She went straight into statistics as I have seen it happen here and she lost it. Later on, another speaker came, took time and spoke about it slowly. The second speaker really scored. I was with Hon. Maungu. The first thing I want to remove from Members of Parliament is that there are those who are supporting and those who are not. There are those who know and those who do not know. We do not know this thing properly and we need to know it. If we do not know it properly, then the local man will not know it. Therefore, since I have three minutes only, the first advisory is to go with Hon. Millie. Let us have a Kamkunji. We also need to invite the Cabinet Secretary for Health to the National Assembly to explain to us what is happening out there. Unless the explanation comes out, it will be difficult. The other challenge is the ownership of the whole setup. Kenyans are not willing to own up the new model of funding. The ownership can only be developed if Members of Parliament go out, explain things and also involve other parties. The Chairman has talked about having people within this programme. I have asked him questions here informally. There are people around who can do the mean-testing and register people. There are no people registering people in this scheme from where I come from. Since Sunday, I have decided that I am going to help. I am going to go out flat to register all my constituents, but we have to involve other players. Let us not say that we have enough staff. If those Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) were trained to register people in this"
