"content": "SHA pays all approved claims by 14th day of every month. I will give you the figure. As of today, Kshs228.37 million have been paid since SHA came into place in October. If the claims are not verified and the governor knows, he talks to his people. I have sent him the bills, he has verified and he is comfortable. He will be in Nairobi tomorrow. He will sit with our team on digital health to make sure that his system works seamlessly. Next is the question by Sen. Kavindu Muthama. SHA registration is seamless. You can use the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) on your phone by dialing *147#. You can also use Community Health Promoters (CHPs). If they are teenage mothers, of whom we have a number, we provide them with temporary cards, making the process seamless. Unlike the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), where registration requires a two-month wait, the Social Health Authority (SHA) picks you up in the system as soon as you register and visit the hospital. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "If you experience any system-related issues, call our call centre at 147, available 24/7, with no call charges. Previously, call receiving took two minutes, but now, once you call, your call is received. We will soon start calling back Kenyans to ask why they called and dropped the call. That is how it works. There was a question regarding the three funds under SHA by Sen. Beatrice and whether we have drugs at the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA). I want to assure this House that KEMSA is undergoing reforms and recapitalisation. Through the private sector, we are investing about Kshs10 billion to increase their fill rate to 100 per cent. This will ensure drugs are available at the last mile. Regarding the doctors in Kakamega and other counties, as Hon. Khalwale was asking the question, I texted the Governor for Kakamega County to confirm whether the issue is true or false. I asked him to send me the agreement he signed with the doctors, but he has yet to do so. However, he said the matter has been resolved. There are about 18 counties where doctors have issues. I agreed with the Union while in Mombasa that these matters must be resolved. Kiambu County is one of them. I am engaging the governors to find solutions. The main issue is promotion. Consultants and senior doctors have stagnated for a long time. As you know, health is devolved. There is a Standing Committee on Health chaired by Sen. Mandago. There is also the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations chaired by the Senator for Wajir County. I believe you would achieve better results by addressing this matter through these committees. Regarding the Universal Health Cover (UHC), the people out there are with me. We have signed an agreement with them, and I am not budging from that agreement. This is because when leaders agree with you--- Hon. Senator, on a light touch, I will come to answer Sen. Cherarkey’s question. He is looking at me. I will answer him last."

This week is the budget-making process. You are handling the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. I am sure you will add funds to the counties. Please, do me a favour; cut some money and allocate it to UHC. I will pay them. I am struggling. Finally, Sen. Cherarkey---"

I will never take his advice again because if I did, I would not even cross the road. On the pending bills, by law, I have established that Kenyans have the right to go to court, and they have done so. Those who claim these bills must wait until the court makes a determination. One arm of the Government has done its job, and another arm must now proceed."
