    "content": "Just before I end, I want to plead with the Government to work really hard to ensure that we are able to implement the universal health cover. The NHIF, with little amendments here and there, can play a very good role in that direction. I am quite pleased that the direction we are going regarding payment of stipend to the elders is good. The fact that we are saying that anybody aged 70 and above should qualify for this support will eliminate a lot of corruption that has been there. It is more objective than just allowing a few people to select those who qualify for this. As I end, I want to thank Hon. Sang once again. The fact that the Bill also stipulates that anybody who contravenes the provisions of this Bill is liable to punishment of up to six months in jail or a fine of Kshs500,000 or both means that people will take the Act seriously, or suffer the consequences. Finally, I hope that we shall also try to incorporate and borrow from the international best practices. With that, I beg to second this Bill."
