The National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) is on the spot for paying Sh1.44 billion to architects and quantity surveyors for a project that has not taken off 21 years down the line.

The fund paid the professionals hired in 2002 to design the Karen Resource Centre for construction on a 20-acre land whose ownership has been in dispute since 2004.
