    "content": "Finally, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reports we are getting is that most of our private hospitals are not accepting the SHA/ SHIF cards in many of our hospitals and we know it. I am speaking for the lowly of the lowly Kenyan, the person who paid Kshs300 to access a SHA card. If private hospitals cannot accept these poor Kenyans, where will they get treatment? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are from Meru, our cousins from the mountain. I am from Nyamira; I know the state of our public hospitals. If we restrict the SHA card to public hospitals, we are denying our people access to health services. We need a solution. I am speaking passionately because I know the suffering that the people of Nyamira are going through. The Social Health Authority (SHA) should be able to assist any Kenyan who is seeking treatment in our private/religious health facilities. The most competent health facilities are run by our religious bodies. If you go to Bomet, Tenwek Hospital treats people from Nyamira, because it is run in a very competent manner. If we leave Kenyans at the mercy of our public hospitals, we are leaving them to die while we are watching. We will never be forgiven by Kenyans. I support."
