    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek the following clarification. The Minister has indicated that from the expenditure of Kshs150 billion, the NHIF raises 4 per cent and he seeks to raise it to about 21 per cent. It is clear that he will impose a further levy to raise about Kshs30 billion. He should clarify whether this subsidiary legislation will not have huge financial implications on Kenyans. It is like taxation. Is it in order to enact this kind of subsidiary legislation without even tabling it before this House? Section 34 of the Interpretation and General Provisions Act requires any kind of this subsidiary legislation be tabled before this House for scrutiny, so that the views of all stakeholders, including ours and the members of the public, are taken into consideration. We want, at the end of the day, what they come up with has the benefit of the whole legislative procedure. What will he do about this because as much as we debate, we cannot really give legality to what they have already done outside this procedure?"
