• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Finally, to reduce the turn-around time in service delivery and to deter fraudulent activities, the Bill proposed a complete digitalisation of the NHIF processes.

• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, clause 10 (2) of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (d) and substituting therefor the following— (d) levy fees for services rendered by the Service as provided under section 30.
