Mr Kerich would, in the next four years, face charges of conspiracy and abuse of office. Within minutes of the press conference, the Minister in charge of Medical Services, Prof Anyang’ Nyong’o, reinstated Mr Kerich and suspended Prof Muga instead. Two days later, on Saturday, acting Head of Public Service Francis Kimemia suspended the entire board, including Prof Muga and Mr Kerich. The National Hospital Insurance Fund, founded in 1966, was meant to help bridge this gap. Mr Mwangi, a former altar boy from Nakuru, ended up like Mr Kerich — being dismissed and prosecuted.
