By ANGELA OKETCHMore by this AuthorThe board of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) has appointed Dr Peter Kamunyo Gathenge as the new chief executive officer with effect from next week on Tuesday. It is from the second advertisement done in February this year that they managed to pick Dr Gathenge following a competitive recruitment process. Dr Gathenge previously served as CEO of MedSource Group Limited, and Tai Medical Centres before that. His appointment comes at a time when the Fund is facing a looming cash crisis as civil servants start seeking alternative medical insurance. The amount is besides the Sh5 billion premium for the police medical insurance scheme and Sh5 billion premium for civil servants’ cover paid by the National Treasury.
