    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue raised by Sen. Hamida on SHA and UHC is very important. The Committee must put the Cabinet Secretary to task. The money owed to NHIF, which is the reason private hospitals have cut services to the public putting their lives at great risk, is a mere Kshs19 billion. The Cabinet Secretary said that Kshs9 billion has already been paid and, therefore, what is pending is Kshs10 billion. It is quite possible for the money that the Government wastes on teas and decorating offices with flagrant flowers to be stopped for a week and utilised to pay off these hospitals so that services can continue. Equally, the Cabinet Secretary must be put to task. She said they have increased the money they pay as SHA towards ICU from Kshs4,600 to Kshs28,600. The Cabinet Secretary is a doctor of medicine. She ought to know that if you are in the ICU, you will be lucky if less than Kshs200,000 is spent on you. So, a paltry Kshs28,000 cannot make a difference. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
