Salasya anapendekeza mchango wa KSh500 kwa mwezi kwa SHA kwa Wakenya wote

Mwenyekiti wa Bunge la Mumias East, Peter Salasya, amewasilisha pendekezo la sheria kubadilisha mfumo wa Mamlaka ya Afya Jamii (SHA), ikiwa ni pamoja na kuanzisha mchango wa KSh500 kwa mwezi kwa kila Mkenya. Pendekezo hilo linaangazia kurekebisha hitilafu za kiutendaji na kifedha ndani ya SHA na kufanya iwe na uwezo wa kujikimu.

Peter Salasya, Mbunge wa Mumias East, alimtumia barua Spika wa Bunge la Kitaifa, Moses Wetang'ula, tarehe 11 Aprili, akipendekeza marekebisho ya Sheria ya Bima ya Afya Jamii ya 2023.
Pendekezo kuu ni kubadilisha michango ya kila mwaka inayotegemea mapato kuwa mchango sawa wa KSh500 kwa mwezi kwa wanachama wote waliosajiliwa.
"SHA inahitaji kuwa na uwezo wa kujikimu na isiite kutegemea ufadhili wa hazina kwa kuwa na fedha nyingi kusaidia Wakenya wengi," Salasya aliandika katika barua hiyo.

Kulingana na Salasya, mfumo wa sasa una tatizo la utii mdogo, ambapo kati ya watu milioni 29 waliosajiliwa, ni milioni 5 pekee ndio wachangiaji wenye shughuli.
Anapendekeza kurudisha programu ya Linda Mama, ambayo imesimamishwa, na kuanzisha michango ya hiari kwa niaba ya wengine au fundi wa umoja wa taifa kwa maskini.
Aidha, anataka kuunganisha fedha tatu zilizopo kuwa moja moja ili kuondoa kurudia na kuboresha ufanisi.

Sheria hiyo pia inataka kuingiza kifungu kipya kinachomwamuru SHA kulipa madai yote yaliyothibitishwa na hospitali ndani ya siku 60.
Hivi sasa, rekodi za Wizara ya Afya zinasema SHA ina wanachama zaidi ya milioni 30 tangu kuanzishwa 2024, na wafanyikazi wakichangia 2.75% ya mishahara yao, na sekta isiyo rasmi KSh300 kamili.
Pendekezo linakuja wakati wa kelele juu ya udanganyifu ndani ya SHA, ingawa Wizara ya Afya imekataa madai hayo.
