    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On this issue of SHA, there happens to be an issue of when the contributor is unwell and admitted to hospital, at what stage is he now going to pay for SHA? The future seems to be stretching such that for the Government to plan well, here comes a situation where a patient who is admitted today, comes in today and now subscribes to a whole year’s payment on the same day. What happens to the concept of planning and how the Government is going to fill the gap? Therefore, Hon. Speaker, I feel the Committee should review and look at it wholistically and advice on how well we are going to look at the issue that payment should be somehow consistent, but not in an instant as to when you fall sick today, go for admission and pay. A case in time is a situation where we need to pay for Computed Tomography (CT) scan for example, because it is expensive, I now move in and pay the Ksh7,000 today. How about if X number of people pay that amount today? It means the drawback is going to be expensive to the Government. I feel that we should have a substitute move, look at it holistically and plan. Actuaries should come up with a formular to help SHA plan on how to mitigate such a situation. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
