    "content": "Looking at the issue of NHIF cards as raised by my colleague, although Members of Parliament have the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), I see a point in us being allowed to use some money from the NG-CDF to help our constituents pay for the NHIF cards. That way, many people will access medical services without necessarily paying for them. In the same breath, we have many employers who deduct money from employees for the purpose of NHIF, but they do not remit the money to the Fund. So, we have people going to access medical facilities only to be told that they are not covered. In as much as we are trying to reform our hospitals and medical services in general, we need to make sure that our constituents are able to pay for those services."
