    "content": "On the issue of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC), I would like the statement to be enhanced further by the CS responding to the following. If you look at the NHIF allocation, you will realize a very interesting scenario in the number of hospitals that we have in this country. It shows that 48 per cent of hospitals are owned by the Government; about 38 per cent are owned privately, while the remaining 14 per cent are owned by faith-based organizations. From the indicated figure of Kshs38 billion that is dispensed by the NHIF to the hospitals, about Kshs22 billion goes to the private hospitals, about Kshs8 billion goes to the privately owned hospitals, while the remaining Kshs7 billion goes to Government. What is happening there? Is there an element of corruption in terms of inflated bills? We need to know more about that, especially since we have a proposal on the Floor to have a private hospital in the national referral hospital, Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
