The Council of Governors has petitioned the Senate to increase the jail term for persons found impersonating National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) beneficiaries to five years, in a bid to protect the State-backed insurer from losses linked to fraudulent claims.
The county chiefs in a memorandum to the Senate proposed to more than double the jail term from the current two years passed in a Bill that seeks to amend the National Hospital Insurance Act of 1998.
