    "content": "revocation in the first instance and, if dissatisfied by the decision of the Board upon review, appeal to the High Court against the revocation. As the wording on the Order Paper says, it provides a review mechanism for a healthcare provider whose empanelment has been revoked by the Fund to have, in the first instance, a review mechanism within the Board, but if they are dissatisfied with the Board, they can move to court. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as you are aware, and as has been alluded to by other Members, there is a lot of corruption within the NHIF. People are enlisted to join the panel of health service providers and a few unscrupulous members of staff at the NHIF revoke a hospital’s empanelment without subjecting the hospital’s management for review by whatever mechanism and the Board’s approval of the same. In such instances, the only recourse for the hospital’s management is going to court. Some rogue officers at the NHIF use that window to extort money from the service providers. We are, therefore, creating a mechanism within the Board, so that people can seek redress from the court. If they are not satisfied with the Board’s decision, they can move to the High Court for a review of the revocation. I beg to move and request that you put the Question."
