"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really want to commend the Minister on the step he is taking to improve health-care in this country. This is one of the biggest problems even to the Members of Parliament. At some stage, the NHIF emulated the NSSF and digressed from its core business and went into investments. He has talked about unpaid bills of about Kshs800 million to public hospitals. In their calculation and from the advice given by their experts, has he taken into account the money that is being earned from these investments? The NHIF went into property development and other investments. I am sure it must be earning huge profits. Has he taken that into account? Secondly, will he make sure that there is adequate harmonization and streamlining of the NHIF operations? The apprehensiveness of the public is because of the way the money is going to be used. Is he going to put in place strategies to make sure that this money is used for the purpose it is intended for? Finally, he has told us that COTU is represented on the Board of the NHIF. I understand that COTU is taking the NHIF Board to court about this matter. How is he handling this?"
