NHIF given week to settle dispute with Jomec over insurance contract

The National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) has been granted an additional week to resolve a significant dispute with Jomec Limited, a company owned by former Naivasha MP John Mututho, concerning the renewal of a medical insurance contract.

Failure to reach a settlement could result in NHIF’s CEO, Elijah Wachira, facing jail time for allegedly disregarding court orders. The conflict stems from a court directive by Justice Josephine Mong’are, instructing NHIF and its CEO to fulfill their contractual obligations and finalize a medical insurance agreement with Jomec.

Despite this, NHIF, represented by advocate Brian Odongo, informed the court that discussions are ongoing, requesting an extension of one week to continue negotiations.

This development follows a previously adopted consent order on February 6, 2024, mandating both parties to establish new service delivery agreements for medical health services.

However, Jomec alleges that NHIF, citing changes in its contracting authority, has failed to comply with the court’s directive and provide the necessary contracts.

In response, Mututho’s company seeks legal action, demanding Wachira’s appearance in court to justify his non-compliance with the consent orders issued in February.

Furthermore, they seek a court order compelling NHIF to adhere to the directives and issue new service delivery agreements as stipulated.

The judge has scheduled a hearing for July 29 to address Mututho’s application if an agreement is not reached between the involved parties.

This ongoing dispute highlights the complexity of contractual negotiations within the healthcare sector and underscores the importance of legal compliance in such matters.
