NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 16– President William Ruto has launched a KSh1 billion upgrade of Trans Nzoia County Level 5 Hospital in Kitale, accusing Governor George Natembeya of opposing the project and delaying improvements to the facility.
Speaking in Kitale town on Friday during his development tour of West Pokot and Trans Nzoia counties, Ruto criticised the governor over the hospital’s condition, saying resistance to cooperation between the national and county governments had hindered the expansion of healthcare infrastructure.
The President said it was unfortunate for leaders to put political differences ahead of essential public services, arguing that the hospital upgrade would improve access to specialised medical care for residents.
