Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, clause 5 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new section 9 by deleting the words “funds of the state corporation” and substituting therefor the words “moneys of the Fund”. This is just a clean up to delete the words “funds of a state corporation” that I find to be archaic that is being used in that clause to “moneys of the fund”.

Kimani Ichung’wah can walk into NHIF and say, ‘I am the CEO’. The CEO shall therefore be appointed by the board through a competitive process on such terms and conditions as the board may, with the advice of the SRC, determine. I beg to move. I think it is clearer and it covers what Hon. Omboko was trying to do.

Hon. Chairman, it is Ichung’wah not Ichungwa. You said Ichungwa and it sounds very ODMish. It is Ichung’wah with a Ng’wa.

If you call me Ichungwa again, I will withdraw the amendment.

Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 9 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new Section 12, by deleting Sub- Section (2) and substituting therefore the following new subsections — (1) The affixing of the common seal of the Board shall be authenticated by the signatures of the Chairperson and the Chief Executive Officer and any document required by law to be made under seal and all decisions of the Board may be authenticated by the signatures of the Chairperson and the Chief Executive Officer.

Hon. Chairman, if you also look at what is provided for in the Bill, the affixing of the common seal is authenticated by the signature of the Chairperson or the CEO. My amendment gives the responsibility to authenticate to both the Chairperson and the CEO. There is a whole world of difference because the Bill makes provision for either to authenticate, but my amendment makes it compulsory for the CEO to authenticate. That is why I said it is to enhance accountability and good governance.

Hon. Chairman, I would like to give guidance because as you have said, there are numerous amendments. I had a lengthy discussion this morning with the Chairman, Hon. John Mbadi and the Leader of the Majority Party. I will move the amendment as it is on the Order Paper, but I will move (c) in an amended format. I will cede moving (b)(ii)(e) in favour of the one by the Leader of the Majority Party. Therefore, I beg to move…
