Dear Brothers and Sisters, After extensive consultations and a profound forty-day experience, I have decided to resign from my position as Chief of Staff for Kakamega County. I tendered my resignation to the Governor this morning, wishing him all the best in his future endeavors. In my correspondence, I highlighted the dire state of our medical facilities, emphasizing that to believe our health sector is functioning effectively is to embrace a falsehood. It is my conviction that the Chief Officer of Health is misrepresenting the realities of a system that is, in fact, failing. Furthermore, I urged the Governor to initiate urgent reforms within the Finance Department, ensuring that contractors who have fulfilled their obligations are compensated in a timely manner.

Kakamega county Public Service CECM Dr Boniface Okoth this afternoon led Chief Officers Faith Gitira, Emanuel Kariuki and Butere Sub County officials at the home of the late Chief Officer Jessica Weku in Shinyulu for ongoing funeral preparations. The delegation met family members, the church for deliberations. Another meeting will be held on Monday. Chief Officer Weku died last week after a short illness.
THE long-serving Butere County Medical Superintendent Dr Alfred Ambundo has been demoted and retained at the same facility as mere doctor. In changes contained in a letter sighned by the CO Health David Alila, the hospital Administrator Dalton Mweresia has been uprooted and taken to Malava Hospital in the same capacity. These changes come in the wake of a report in which bees that had built a nest at the hospital for long periods of time attacked and killed an elderly patient almost three weeks ago. Kakamega Governor toured the hospital to access service delivery twe weeks ago where he met CHPS and visited the Hospital pharmacy where assorted medicine was stocked. The letter dated 10th July stares that the removed officers were supposed to facilitate smooth handing and taking over. It is hoped the changes will enhance service delivery especially at night and weekends when the facility is said to be empty without staff. ENDS .
