    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am also concerned about that programme. Last time I requested the Chair to call the current Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, Ukur Yattani, who was then the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection. The same people who are over 70 years are supposed to have money for medicare with the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) paid through a certain amount of the same money. When the Minister was called, I did not receive a clear answer on why the old people go to hospitals and they are told their cards have not been paid for yet they are supposed to get joint money of Kshs2500, fom which Kshs500 goes to the NHIF and Ksh2,000 goes to the stipend. That is a problem. For every old person going to hospital, we have to do a Harambee. Their cards are not working. When you go to pay for the NHIF card, you are told they are in the old people programme. Therefore, Hon. Wario is supposed to call for a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary. As the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, he should know who else he should call, so that we can know where the NHIF cards are paid. It is a big concern and I think it should be a joint committee. Thank you."
