    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the absence of a Board at KEMSA has rendered the agency unable to operate. The Minister dissolved the Board and suspended the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on 10th July, 2008 for the purpose of paving the way for a task force to investigate complaints touching on transparency, inefficiency and unnecessary bottlenecks in service delivery at KEMSA. October 23, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2977 Along with the dissolution of the Board, the Minister put in place transitional arrangements to enable continuity. These included the appointment of an acting CEO, empowered to transact the business of the Agency with the support of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Medical Services. (b) The task force submitted its report on 21st October, 2008. We are in the process of studying its findings and recommendations. A new Board will shortly be constituted to oversee the Agency's operations and fast-track the implementation of the changes proposed by the taskforce. In the meantime, the Ministry headquarters will continue to provide policy and administrative facilitation to enable the Agency continue with its operations."
