When I went to NHIF, I was referred back to the National Treasury and Economic Planning. I was told the money is going to be paid from the National Treasury. In the letter we received today, the Cabinet Secretary is saying that this is not his responsibility, but of the Ministry of Health. Sen. Kathuri was also referred back to the National Treasury and Economic Planning.

Committee for the work they have done. I also thank the many witnesses who took time and had an opportunity to come before the Committee to give their testimony. By the time the Committee finished their work, we had lost 429 lives; elderly men and women, children, men and youth. Yes, Article 8 of the Constitution says no state religion. That is true. Article 26 (1) also states that- ‘every person has a right to life.’ Article 30 also says-

‘(1) A person shall not be held in slavery or servitude.’ If you look at what happened in Shakahola, I do not know what type of language they use. They are like slaves. They are just there without knowing where they are heading, where they came from and what they are going to do next. It is very unfortunate. I have seen this happening in churches and mosques.

If you see people in the first row in the mosque or church, you find a poor person sitting at the gate of that church. ...
