The Secretary General of ODM should avoid double standards. When ODM counties perform well, he says these are best ODM counties. However, when stealing or plundering of resources like in Migori is happening, the Secretary General denies. How can he run away from his own child? As a party, you also have a role to bring order and discipline, because I do not believe ODM is a party that allows corruption to thrive in their own counties that they run. In conclusion, I agree that the CPAC and County Public Investments and Special Funds (CPIC) must be seized of this matter.

I am the Vice-Chairperson of Committee on Finance and Budget. Our resolution as a committee is that we are planning to visit each and every county on the issue of pending bills because it has been a thorny issue. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just to touch on the issue of SHA, the SHA has been politicised. It is diverting our focus from the people who are really in need. As Members of Parliament (MPs), we have a very executive insurance that we are able to access very good medical services.

The problem is how this communication was done, because out of 18 million Kenyans who have registered for SHA, only 4 million are remitting. The other 14 million are not remitting. Today, as we were looking at the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), the Council of Governors (CoG) appeared with their submissions. Out of the Kshs85 billion that has been increased to go to the Ministry of Health, almost Kshs30 billion is going to the Ministry for other functions. We are also asking what this additional funding is supposed to do. Any additional funding that has gone to the Ministry of Health should strategically be tabled to show how much is going to handle the issues of SHA. The discussion that we are having is trying to make SHA look so bad, yet it is one of the best programmes that the Government is offering. We are forgetting that you do not know when you will get sick. Sickness does not knock. Therefore, in whichever conversations that we are having, let us have a conversation minding the common mwananchi and addressing the key issues. On the issue of the Auditor-General, there are concerns. Let them come to Parliament, let us look at them and address them. Nonetheless, the issues of the Auditor- General are different issues. The issues of the mwananchi going to the hospital and not being able to get a service is an issue and that should be addressed collectively. Sickness does not know tribe or has no time.
