    "content": "opportunity for new business people to rush and try to take advantage of the scheme that brought Kshs8 billion into the health sector. The Kshs8 billion which used not to go to the health sector is now being taken; Kshs4.3 billion is being taken by the civil servants, another Kshs4.6 billion is going to be taken by the teachers. Initially I had designed the scheme for both teachers and civil servants but the teachers requested to negotiate their own directly with the health care. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because we have brought Kshs8 billion to the health sector, initially some of the traditional health care providers, the big hospitals refused to accept capitation. They wanted Kshs6,000 for capitation. I had said, if health care insurance is being sold in Kenya at less than Kshs3,000 why should you ask for kshs6,000? The same question I asked was: Why should you tender for Kshs12 billion when the rates you are charging do not exceed kshs4.3 billion? So the due diligence I was supposed to do was done. The evaluation I was supposed to do was done. The consultations with the Fund to make rectification of where there were problems were done and I have been vindicated by the current board. So, there is absolutely no basis why somebody should make a recommendation in a report that I should be investigated on my role as if he is imputing that I have committed any economic crime in this professional performance of my duties which is going to change health care services in the country. I beg to oppose."
