When the Government begun the reform programmes on public enterprises in the 1980s, we had about 260 parastatals, most of which were riddled with debts. Most the public enterprises then were inefficient because they were being poorly managed. They were drawing from the Exchequer. They had a bloated work force and were technically insolvent. If we were to transfer parastatals to the counties in the way they are at the moment, we will be transferring more problems to the nascent counties that we want to

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose the Motion. NHIF is the only insurance Fund that is available in this country to the low income earners in our nation. If we were to slap a 500 per cent penalty, we would be discouraging those employers who have for some time been using money from the contributors to do their own business instead of forwarding the money to NHIF so that it can provide medical care to our people.

If you look at the contributions to this Fund, particularly from individual contributors, they are very few, far and wide. Most employers in this country rely on that Fund. Those who can afford rely on medical insurance schemes, which are the preserve of a few. I also wish to point out that last week we had a Motion on emergency health treatment that is supposed to be provided by hospitals without having to ask for deposits.

I had to change my position this afternoon for purposes of catching your eye and thank you for doing that.

I want to raise three issues on the Presidentâs Speech. First of all, I have full confidence in President Uhuru Kenyatta and what he speaks, I am sure, is what he means and he will walk the talk. On the issue of transparency, I must say that in the previous Governments, we witnessed a situation where there was no transparency in our country. I believe the President will take the opportunity to reign in the Executive and make sure that the citizens of this country have access to information whenever they need it and at whatever cost as per the ...
