    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is out of order. That notwithstanding, going back to Lodwar, I think Mr. Ethuro is right. We had a problem with water bills. Water is so crucial that we allocated money and cleared the water bills and came up with a system so that hospitals do not get water shortages. The Ministry of Medical Services has a tremendous constraint in terms of resources. We need to have 15 per cent of the Budget allocated to health. At the moment, only 7 per cent of the Budget goes to health, which means we are only getting less 56 per cent of what we should be getting. So, I am appealing to hon. Members, when the Budget comes, to make sure that the Treasury gives us enough money to look after our hospitals. Secondly, please, let us make sure that when the Bill turning the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) into the National Health Insurance Fund comes here, we support it so that we can get that money much easier and not to subject our people to the kind of inhuman treatment that we have observed so far."
