    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to thank Hon. Ichung’wah for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. We have heard about the issue of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). The NHIF is a very important parastatal dealing with the health of the people of Kenya. However, the challenge that we have with this parastatal is that when they pay money in respect of people who were hospitalised, they do not consider the heavy expenses incurred by in-patients. For example, if an in-patient had a surgery, they do not pay the expenses relating to the surgery. I wonder if theirs is just to pay for bed and food, and not for serious challenges that make many Kenyans to contribute to the NHIF. This is something which needs to be looked at in a more serious way because despite the massive investments that the NHIF have, they do not support patients in their most critical needs."
