M-Pesa Magic: Your NHIF Payment Genie
M-Pesa is here to be your superhero when it comes to NHIF contributions. No more wrestling with traffic or that sinking feeling of realizing you forgot your wallet. With a few taps and a whiz, your NHIF payment is done faster than you can say "bomba la pesa" (money explosion...kind of).

Fire Up Your M-Pesa Menu: This is where the phone heroics begin. Open your SIM Toolkit and navigate to the M-Pesa menu. It's like your Batcave, but with less brooding and more financial responsibility.
Lipa Na Mpesa to the Rescue: Select the ever-reliable "Lipa Na Mpesa" option. This is your gateway to sending that NHIF contribution on its merry way.
Paybill Power! Enter 222222: Time to unleash the power of the Paybill number! Punch in the mighty 222222. Remember it, it's your key to unlocking NHIF payments through M-Pesa.
Account Number: Your NHIF Identity: Here's where things get personal. Enter your NHIF member ID as the account number. This tells the system exactly where to send your contribution.
Enter the Amount: Unleash Your Inner Accountant: Now for the fun part! Key in the amount you want to contribute. Whether it's your monthly dues or clearing some penalties (we've all been there!), this is where you decide how much superhero support you're giving NHIF.
M-Pesa PIN: The Final Boss: Almost there! Enter your trusty M-Pesa PIN. This is like your fingerprint – only you should know it.
