    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I oppose the amendment by Hon. Oluoch. The NHIF staff will not be affected by this new structure of the Authority. They will remain staff of NHIF for one year. During this period, the Authority will set up its structures. When they do so, they will now recruit from NHIF staff who were there within that period of one year. If you bring NHIF staff in the Authority before you establish structures and put in systems, then it will not work. We must provide for the new Authority which we are establishing its structures. However, in the amendment which I shall bring, the staff of NHIF shall be given priority in recruitment to the new Authority. Nobody is losing. The Bill says that those who are qualified will be absorbed. There is a consultancy report which was done by the World Bank. It established that there was a mismatch between the qualifications and what they were doing. Therefore, we must give the new Authority the power and leeway to recruit people who are competent and the ones whom they require. If the rest of the staff want to retire, they can do so. However, if you have skills to serve in the public service, then you will be taken there on the same terms you were working on but not to a disadvantage.
