    "content": "Many times, we speak of accident victims who, when they get to a hospital, their relatives have to sign forms or first pay the bill for them to be treated. We have lost lives in many such cases. The SHA has come to ensure that a hospital can treat you and claim from SHA afterwards because you have been given priority as a Kenyan covered under the Universal Health Coverage. Thirdly, we are constantly called for fundraisings for cancer patients and patients with other terminal illnesses. Here again, SHA will cover our people in all those areas and ensure that families do not lose their properties while trying to save their loved ones. Having had the experience of having a cancer patient in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), even as you pray for the patient every evening, you have to look at how fast the bill is growing. I appreciate that our people will never have to worry about that. Allow me to mention the issue of affordable housing because I sit on the Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works. That programme has created employment for our people. If you visit Kibera on any given day, you will find 4,000 young men and women walking into a construction site. If you calculate the years they will have worked on that site, you will realise that these people will have money in their pockets and that means progress for their families."
