    "content": "If you look at the clause on appointment of the Chief Executive Officer, Clause 14 (b) talks about an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. I am wondering whether there is any Advocate of the High Court who is not a lawyer, or does not have a law degree. It is like this thing is being limited to law degree holders. On the section that says that one has to have a minimum Bachelor’s degree from a university recognised in Kenya and is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, who is this advocate who is not a holder of a law degree? Do we have any other person having another degree and who is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya? That part needs some change. Also, on staffing, right now, NHIF staff have panicked. Most of them are saying they might lose their jobs just because of the way we have framed the transition clause. We should not break the law. If we move NHIF staff to the Public Service, where they earn lower salaries, we will be breaking the law. We can add a clause for them to be paid. They can be laid off and paid severance pay."
