    "content": "As we move forward, we have issues to do with the NHIF. The NHIF plays a very critical role. I have met some of the colleagues who did not make it back to Parliament and the way they are leading is very pathetic. We request the NHIF to come up with a policy that can cater for Members of Parliament who have not been elected back. There is a mess at the NHIF. We recently saw a report about a lot of corruption cases when it comes to this body. We call upon the EACC, wherever they are, and the DCI to move with speed so that the corrupt individuals who have messed up the NHIF can be brought to book. We have referral hospitals like Kenyatta National Hospital and the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH). They need a lot of funding for purposes of equipping them. Right now, we have a problem with the coronavirus. I was reading the World Health Organisation report and I think Kenya does not have the capacity to manage the coronavirus. We empathise with the Kenyans who are now in China suffering. How I wish that the Government can move with speed and get a facility where we can quarantine them so that those Kenyans wherever they are can be brought back for proper care. For now, I know we do not have the facility in place. Wherever they are, as the ambassador said, we continue praying for them and wishing them well but we call upon the Government of China to come in and give a hand."
