Therefore, while looking at this Report, we must allow for fair administration of justice, which is provided for in Article 47 of the Constitution and the statute that we passed in this House, to allow for those processes to take place. An opinion I have held since the last Parliament, having been a Member of the same Committee, is that the NHIF, which receives a lot of money from us on a statutory basis, should have the referral hospitals at its ambit, if we are not going to go in the direction proposed by Hon.

As we look at this Report, which I support, let us bear in mind the effort that the Committee has put in this inquiry and note the record short time it has taken to table its Report.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, this was a very interesting discourse and I have enjoyed listening to other Members speak. So, I thank you for your wise guidance. I think for housekeeping, I just wanted to know how much time I have. This is because the Speaker had given a certain directive?
