Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has hailed the appointment of Engineer Michael Kamau as the Chair of the board of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).
Kamau who was the former Transport Cabinet Secretary in President Uhuru Kenyatta's Government was appointed by President William Ruto on Friday.
The Deputy President thanked his boss saying the move restored the dignity of the former CS.
"Thank you, my Boss, H.E. President William Ruto for restoring the dignity of Engineer Michael Kamau," he said.
Gachagua said Kamau is a distinguished Public Servant who put in years of committed service to our great Nation.
"He was persecuted and taken through hell by the very Government he had served. For eight years, the son of Kenya has not known peace," he said.
The appointment of Engineer Kamau to chair the board of NHIF, Gachagua added, brings experience and efficiency to an institution critical in implementing the Kenya Kwanza Plan of realizing Universal Health Coverage for all Kenyans.
