    "content": "This is so that the Kshs134.5 billion that remains here at Afya House when health is fully devolved, left at Afya House to be abused, that money, either 50 per cent or 60 per cent, should be rolled into SHA and the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF). If we do not do this, then the women today who are in the maternity ward at the Kakamega Provincial General Hospital, they are there today, they have been imprisoned because they did not clear the bills. Their husbands are screaming, they are in my home every morning saying: “My wife has been arrested after giving birth and yet the last time when she gave birth, I walked in with a National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) card and I was given my wife and the child.” Those are the people who voted for me and the people I will speak for. Those are the people who deserve representation, not you, rich people. Every time I see people say, “Oh, accept this is going on because I contribute Kshs27,036.” That is not the point! The point is the people who vote for us, the parents of the children who are in the Gallery this afternoon. I know most of you are not any different from these people whose wives have been arrested at the Kakamega Provincial General Hospital. You are lucky. If your mother had delivered you in hospital, she would have been arrested. You were delivered in a banana plantation like myself. That is how serious it is."
