    "content": "payments. The cost of healthcare is very high. If a person gets an accident and he or she has a third party or comprehensive insurance cover, he or she is frustrated when he or she wants a P3 Form. Most Kenyans end up not getting treatment or losing a lot of money because of that. Hon. Mwinyi must have heard the cries of Kenyans that P3 Forms must be given for free. I support that these forms should be filled in dispensaries and hospital at all levels. Again, I support Hon. Gichigi’s amendment that even the doctors who fill these forms must be part of the witnesses so that the cases for the victims can have weight. In case of compensation, it will be easy for most Kenyans. There is the issue of communication. Most Kenyans do not have information on how to go about getting P3 Forms. It has become a culture that if you have to get a P3 Form, you must have money. If we pass this Motion and let Kenyans have access to information about P3 Form issuance and the whole process, most Kenyans will benefit. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support members who said that even domestic violence victims should also benefit. If a lady reports such a case, the lady and her children get frustrated at a police station. This could be due to lack of knowledge. If it is public knowledge that this is the position that Kenyans are supposed to take when they acquire a P3 Form, it will ensure that justice is done to every person or victims of violence or accident. This Motion is timely. I will bring amendments so that we see how the doctors who go to courts will be compensated by the Government. This is because there is a cost that goes with it. I cannot be called as a doctor to give evidence in court and I am not compensated. If that is done, then the process will be made easier. I support this Motion and urge the Government to fast-track it so that P3 Forms are also available at the dispensaries and not only at police stations and police posts."
