Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has taken to Twitter to congratulate former Transport CS Michael Kamau for his appointment.
Eng. Kamau was appointed by President Ruto to chair the board of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
“Let me take this opportunity to thank my Boss, H.E. President William Samoei Ruto, for restoring the dignity of Eng. Michael Kamau.”
The Former CS was ousted during Uhuru Kenyatta’s regime after being charged with misappropriation of a tender leading to loss of ksh. 33 Million.
Gachagua said Eng. Kamau was targeted politically and had long suffered from the 2015 charges.
“A distinguished Public Servant who put in years of committed service to our great Nation of Kenya, he was persecuted and taken through hell by the very Government he had served.”
“For 8 years, the son of Kenya has not known peace and has been the subject of scorn and humiliation.“
DP Gachagua said the appointment will be key in implementing the Kenya Kwanza Plan for health care.
“Eng. Kamau brings experience and efficiency to an institution critical in implementing the Kenya Kwanza Plan of realizing Universal Health Coverage for all Kenyans. What a new year gift to the people of Kenya.”
