Medical Services Minister Professor Anyang Nyong'o has reinstated the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) board barely a day after the acting Head of Civil Service Francis Kimemia suspended it. Nyong'o says Kimemia has no powers to suspend the board of NHIF which falls squarely under his docket, and worse still did so without even consulting him. While retaining the status quo, Nyong'o also accused operatives within the office of the president of manufacturing scandals in ministries with ODM ministers, intended to taint the prime minister's image. Andrew Ochieng reports on this new twist to the NHIF saga.
