    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is not the first time we have heard of matters concerning NHIF. I believe it will not even be the last time we will hear of them. This is simply because NHIF is a very liquid organization. Because it is liquid, it has been prone to abuse. Indeed, this is an area that requires investigations. The whole purpose of a Ministerial Statement is for instant accountability. Mark my words: “instant accountability”. The Committee can proceed with its in-depth investigations. Kenyans are very keen; this is a matter that involves so many employees including yourselves. Indeed, the very poor ones are also there. Many of them have been brought on board. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when it comes to private audit firms, with due respect, if you ever looked at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Reports during the Moi regime, you will see that many State Corporations got exemptions from the Kenya National Audit Office (KENAO) audit. They ended up being audited by private audit firms with very poor results. Indeed, the best auditors that we have around are from KENAO. Private auditors protect their fees. If anybody wants to unearth what is going on at NHIF, which I believe and suspect is a big one, then KENAO should be involved. These are some of the issues that we want corrected so that the right approach is taken without derailing accountability to Kenyans."
