Government. Some of them are doing business in this country and therefore making this country rich. So, why can we not provide these people with NHIF services for free? In any case we have cases of people stealing money from our Government facilities. We are still reading in shock about how people stole billions of money that was meant for maternity, HIV/AIDS patients and the provision of other services.

I agree and I stand guided, but there are some issues which we must also touch. This is so that next time we have another discussion on health issues, those matters of concern are put to rest. Otherwise, I stand guided. We must look at those issues which affect our people with regard to the provision of health services. I thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to make my contribution on this particular Motion by Hon. Omar. I only wish that he does not leave this matter to rest in shelves of this House or the archives of Parliament. I really hope that he follows it up and brings an amendment to the Bill which concerns the P3 Form. We will have a law that will guide or force the concerned authorities to ensure that they deal with this matter comprehensively. I hope that at the time he brings it as a Bill, I will second it. ...

government has upgraded any of the dispensaries to increase the number of health centres to two. You can imagine a whole constituency with a population of over 100,000 people. We do not even have a sub-county hospital. The only health facilities we have are dispensaries. Therefore, getting these particular forms filled in is difficult. That is why I think it is prudent for the State to ensure that they make it possible for w ananchi to access these services. This is because these are services that you do not readily access when you need them. They are services which circumstances ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for also allowing me to speak to this Amendment Bill, which is looking into insurance. I am also interested in it especially looking at the changes which have been brought here.

The most important and fundamental one is about the insurers. For a long time, as you know, there are clients who deal with these companies and who suffer a lot and the people who make them suffer are mostly the courts and lawyers. I think we need to relook at how we can change the law so that if lawyers delay payment to clients or the courts dilly-dally on matters of compensation, we should have punitive measures.

I think this particular amendment will kind of elevate the hopes of those who usually suffer. All of us are victims. You know insurance companies are meant to give hope to their clients and especially victims of accidents. Sometimes people struggle to get their compensation and when they visit the insurance companies they are taken round. Even when the payments are done after sometime the lawyers also take you round. We need to have laws that will ensure that on immediate declaration that a particular person should be compensated, it should be instant.

These insurance companies are like pension schemes. Those who seek compensation for their departed relatives know that it takes even more than six years to get it. We need to have laws which will ensure that if there are claims people want to make either to the insurance company or anywhere else, the claims should be easier to access.

There is also another issue which I thought should have been looked into and that is the question of rates. We need to look at the rates because we are capping banking rates, but we also need to look at the insurance rates. Lastly, what I have beef with is Takaful insurance. I know “ Takaful” is not an English word. Because the Bill is signed by the Leader of the Majority Party, I would have expected him to give us a proper explanation of the word “ Takaful” . I know he gave us an explanation that this name ...
