    "content": " I am sorry to interrupt. I had seen the Hon. Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health in the House. Hon. Speaker, the President pronounced himself on SHA, especially on the registration of SHA in terms of if you are able to register for one month and then continuously do so until the year ends, or you must register for the whole year. In my constituency, SHA is now doing very well. I had a case where a child at Emusire High School was treated in hospital and SHA paid for us over Ksh69,000. It made me to go ahead and help in the registration of SHA by providing the data that they are required to have. However, on that pronouncement by the President – and I wish the Hon. Chairman was here - has not been effected. When you are registering citizens into SHA, the system is not accepting one-month registration so that, after one month, they again register for another month and the other. The way we did with the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). This would really promote registration by encouraging more people to register and also avail more people to be within the system because the local communities do not have that money - the entire money for 12 months. This is something that I thought the Hon. Chairman could, at least, work on. During this recess, he could sit down with the Cabinet Secretary and other authorities concerned in that area so that they can bring back the registration of SHA on a monthly basis. Kenyans are waiting for it. When you talk about it anywhere, they say: “We want that to come back so that we can join SHA.” That was my point of order, Hon. Speaker. I thank you."
