"content": "Quite a number of amendments may look good but given that one or two items do not really meet the requirements that we need, then we need to go back and look at everything afresh. For instance, there is the issue of NHIF. I even wonder why the title is changing to the “Hospital Insurance Fund”. Why are the members of the board who represent the very beneficiaries like COTU, KUPPET, KNUT and even the FKE being removed from this important board? It is as if we want to go back to the old order of things. It has not been like this for many years in Kenya. The workers are the people who make contributions and they benefit from this very important fund. There is no reason why the members of COTU and other unions, including the FKE, should be removed from the board. The five members to replace them will be solely appointed by the Cabinet Secretary. We cannot accept to go back to the days of such operations in this country."
