    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended – (i) by deleting the proposed amendment to Section 5(1)(a) and substituting therefor the following new amendment − s. 5 (1) (a) Delete and substitute therefor the following new paragraph – (b) a chairperson appointed by the President and who shall – (i) have at least a university degree in a relevant discipline; (ii) have at least fifteen years’ experience in matters relating to healthcare, business management or public administration; and (iii) satisfy the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution. This is about the qualifications of the chairperson who would be appointed by the President and will have a university degree in a relevant field, but have at least 15 years’ experience in matters relating to healthcare, business management, public administration and satisfy the requirements. This amendment seeks to provide for the qualifications for the appointment of the chairperson and is in line with the proposed amendment by the Departmental Committee on Health. I have only included public administration as one of the fields in which the chairperson may have experience in. I included 15 years’ experience because in terms of operation, 60 per cent of KEMSA’s clients are county governments. Secondly, there is a lot of donor engagement by KEMSA. A lot of money is pumped into KEMSA. The chairperson must have at least 15 years’ experience, be mature and have the relevant qualifications. At the end of the day, he will engage with donors, county governments and the relevant national Government agencies. As we move further, we will create a position for the county governments on the board of KEMSA."
