    "content": "On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. What is out of order is that the hon. Member for Kipipiri is misleading this House by suggesting that those who make contributions to the NHIF on voluntary basis are compelled by the law to make those contributions and, therefore, if they do not make those contributions they are subject to these penalties. I want to state here clearly that there are two types of contributors. We have employees, whose remittances are made by their employers and voluntary contributors, who voluntarily join the Fund; they are mainly found in the informal economy. When they do not make the remittances as they promise to do, they do not face any penalties under the Act. The hon. Member for Kipipiri is, therefore, not in order to continually mislead this House by stating that the penalty also applies to the voluntary members of the fund. It does not. This is mainly on employers."
