Mama Care, a non-governmental organisation has called upon the county government to channel more funds to help curb the fight against HIV/AIDS.
According to the organisation led by Griffin Williams, the county government has forgotten and shifted its effort in the fight against the killer disease.
Most people especially mothers are not able to access the ARV's which should be brought closer to them through community-based programs which will offer guidance and counseling to the locals.
“HIV/AIDS is still a threat to the current generation especially the youth. We have slugged and forgotten about the fight against the disease which is a national concern,” said Griffins.
“The county government should conduct more campaigns to educate the public on HIV/AIDS especially the youth,” He adds.
He added that more research out to be conducted on this disease.
“The county government has a research stations in the county which should be tasked with researching more on the disease and its cure. We should take this issue more seriously,” he said.
