Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the New Clauses 24A, 24B and 24C. As has been mentioned, it is important to align the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Act with the Constitution and also the Public Audit Act of 2015. This provision is also standard procedure for all State corporations.

You can imagine when members of the public are waiting to have their claims processed to release their relatives or patients from hospitals and you are told NSSF assets in your local branch office have been attached by somebody and, therefore, no service can be offered. That is why it is very important to protect the corporations’ assets from attachment. I ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support and would like to pick up from where Hon. Millie has stopped, on risks spreading. I had sought an opportunity yesterday to speak on risks spreading, which I did not get. I wanted to ask the NHIF Board and its management that, in as much as we are opening the leeway for risks spreading, this would move towards reinsurance. Hon. Millie is indeed right, that part of the requirements of IRA is regulation on reinsurance and how to share costs. I truly support what Hon. John Mbadi is seeking to ...
