    "content": "As you know, KAA has even a green field project to the tune of, maybe, Kshs55 billion and yet, it has only three directors. It is just fair that they can have enough people to advise them, so that they can execute their responsibilities properly. On the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, we need to create capacity. We need to empower them financially, particularly to enable them to develop capacity for integrity inspections to ensure that our civil aviation is as competitive as any other in the world. On NHIF, it is about time that we thought about an ordinary Kenyan; a Kenyan who cannot even afford some of the costs that our medical facilities are charging. Particularly, I would like to mention the case of dialysis in this country. It is about time that we catered for certain services, so that the NHIF can also bear some costs for those kinds of services. A rate of about Kshs5,000 for a session for ordinary Kenyans and, sometimes, those sessions are done twice a week, is too much money. We should allow a policy where, when a patient lies in a bed in a hospital or centre either for two or three hours, they qualify for a day in hospital. They should qualify to get that assistance from NHIF. I want to appeal that it is about time we controlled where our universities are. We should make sure that we do not put our universities next to brothels and bars. That is what is happening in the cities. It is unfortunate that some of the universities that were created to provide a certain environment for the students have lost it. They have taken the university colleges to the streets. It is about time that we have some soberness in this area. In issues of who should be honoured, it is about time that we not only look at the politicians and people in big positions, but also look at the ordinary Kenyans who contribute a lot to this nation. I do not want to repeat myself. Thank you very much for the opportunity. I support."
