The National Health Insurance Fund( NHIF) has suspended the CEO recruitment process that was going on.
Acting CEO Samson Kuhora in a statement dated June 20 said during the recruitment exercise the board determined that the outcomes would not align with the fund’s vision of transformative leadership.
“Consequently, the board unanimously resolved to terminate the ongoing recruitment and will initiate a fresh process,” Kuhora said.
“The re-advertisement for the vacant positions of CEO and six directors will be published on June 27 2023,” he added.
The fund was seeking to fill the position of CEO and six directors to the fund.
The process to fill the slot began early last month when NHIF advertised the position and called for applications.
Last month, Health CS Susan Wafula disclosed that the shortlisting process had been completed and a new CEO was to be named before the end of May.

NHIF appointed Kuhora as acting CEO with effect from March 14 after the term of the former CEO Peter Kamunyo ended in April.
Kuhora is the current head of benefits designs and claims management at the national insurer.
Kamunyo was appointed at the helm of the insurer in April 2020.
NHIF board chairman Michael Kamau in a memo to staff said Kamunyo was to proceed on terminal leave effective March 14.
