Residents of Emenyenche in Kitutu Masaba County have lauded the county government of Nyamira following the decision to build a dispensary in the region.
On Sunday, County Chief health officer Douglas Bosire had initiated the ambitious project which is expected to also have a maternity wing.
Bosire said the project was among the over fifty dispensaries that are expected to be launched in the region and are expected to cost the county government over 600M in the financial year 2015/2016.
“I want to assure you today that the county government has given health care a priority and that is why we want this dispensary completed as soon as possible. This is among fifty similar projects that are expected in the course of this financial year,” Bosire said.
But most residents gave the incumbent governor credit and asked his critics to give him time to work for electorates with minimal politics.
“We understand our governor has been working under pressure following scathing attacks from a section of politicians from the region. We want them to shun negative politics and allow the governor to do his job,” said Vane David.
They pledged to work with the county government and asked the county leadership to work in speed to rectify the health sector that has allegedly dwindled during the management of the national government.
“I now see great gains in the healthcare sector with the county government in place. We want them to do a total overhaul in the sector for the benefit of common citizens,” said Jared Oiko.
