![Governor Waiguru on the Spot as Pathetic State of Kirinyaga County's Largest Hospital is Exposed [VIDEO]](https://dev.mwakilishi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/KERUGOYA-6e9.jpg "KERUGOYA")
Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru is on the spot after a local television station exposed the pathetic state of the Kerugoya County Referral Hospital.
Kerugoya Referral Hospital is the largest medical facility in the county.
On Saturday, Citizen TV aired an expose revealing the sorry state of the facility featuring blocked toilets, unwashed linen, rotting garbage, and undisposed medical waste.
Water shortage at the facility has also worsened the situation, exposing patients and staff to infections.
Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) Kirinyaga County Chairperson Paul Mwangi says that two nurses at the facility have already been diagnosed with Hepatitis B.
“There are several nurses who are experiencing diarrhea. Last week, two nurses were diagnosed with Hepatitis B,” he told Citizen TV.
The situation was reportedly occasioned by the laying off of more than 200 casual workers, including cleaners at the facility.
Mwangi fears of a cholera outbreak if the situation is not addressed immediately.
Residents who spoke to Citizen TV want health services reverted back to the national government since the county has failed to deliver.
Kenyans have taken to social media to criticize Governor Waiguru over the hospital’s condition.
David Ngure asks “How can a referral hospital be in this condition? It has to be closed immediately. Anne Waiguru must channel all resources, including her time to clean up the facility.”
Yusuf Mukash says: “This is totally unacceptable! Madam Anne Waiguru, what work are you doing? You are sleeping on the job.”
Maraga Maangi posts: “This shows the high level of rot in Kirinyaga County. The governor should explain how the referral hospital is in such kind of condition.”
The governor should resign…
The governor should resign at once. If you’re unable to help people when they’re most vulnerable then you are useless and must step aside and let someone who clearly cares about the people come to the rescue. Of course Kerugoya county Referral hospital doesn’t mean much to you and your kind. When elites and corrupt leader and robbers get sick, you go to India, UK, Australia and the like and according to Muigai Wa Njoroge; then your Dead bodies are retrieved back to Kenya. For most Kenyans, this is all we got so please fix it or get lost.
Governor Waiguru, your…
Governor Waiguru, your performance as a governor will always be measured by the lowest of those you govern. Where are your priorities? While the people in your county cannot afford a decent hospital or even enough and clean toilets, you are busy signing deals with foreignors to establish coffee houses in New York to sell what they produce. What a shame?
Make sure your people have the basics ( a foundation ); running water and such before you expose them to multi- national corporations to be corrupted and enslaved. In fact, the best way to help your county and the country is to RESIGN from your position and move to New York to help run that coffee house. Tell us how the coffee house will be run without the people you are looking down upon. The people you are riding on to climb to New York are the same you have ignored. While our leaders are increasing their pay, the people they govern are dying of diseases and hunger.
Shame on Ann Waiguru. All…
Shame on Ann Waiguru. All she knows is to steal money from NYS.
Dada Waiguru ni matunda ya…
Dada Waiguru ni matunda ya WAFULA CHEBUKATI! Ndiye aliyewaruhusu watu ambao hawafai kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi wa huduma za umma.
Kabla ya 2022, ni lazima kila mwananchi ahakikishe ya kwamba WAFULA CHEBUKATI amestaafishwa (made to retire) kwa manufaa ya umma.
Juzi tulimwona Sonko akijigamba (bragging) juu ya utajiri wake wa yapata shilingi bilioni 32. Yaani huyu ndugu yetu ana shilingi 32,000,000,000.00 na huku wananchi wanakufa kwa njaa. Sonko naye pia ni matunda ya WAFULA CHEBUKATI.
2022, ni wakati wa nchi ya Kenya kupata viomgozi wapya wpte ambao wataifufua nchi yetu tena.
Ask your friend Ruto to come…
Ask your friend Ruto to come to your assistance Governor Waiguru. Instead of Ruto running from church to church to bribe Christians to vote for him in 2022, direct your resources to what Christ would have you do. Jesus did not talk about giving to the church. He talked about caring for the needy. Health is one of the so called Big 4. You always talk about your boss’s agenda. Direct the money you don’t need there. That’s being Christian.
There was this story in one…
There was this story in one of the dailies .This man got tired of waiting for the county to contract a road leading to his house/village,so he built it himself.How can staff,and neighbors just sit there and wait for cholera?
It comes a time when community has to roll up its sleeves, do the dirty work, and the deal with the appropriate authority.
