"content": "I hope we will look at the issue of health financing in this country. I hope during my lifetime to see the poor go to hospital like the rich, get treatment and go back home without paying a cent. Yes, we have NHIF, but there have been complaints that the Kshs500 that people are made to pay every month is too high. We hope the Government will come up with a system where it will pay for the services that Kenyans seek in different hospitals, so that the poor can go to hospital, get treatment and go back home. It is unfortunate that in hospitals in our constituencies, there are patients who are bedridden because of complications that are avoidable. If we invest at the primary level, I mean in the dispensaries and health centres, we will avoid issues of paralysis. We will be able to manage many conditions. Kidney diseases are conditions that we can treat."
