The hospital has a huge electricity bill of over Sh700,000 plus other pending bills yet to be cleared," he said.Nyong'o who is a former Health Minister, called for an urgent meeting next week, with the management of the facility, few days after taking over from the outgoing Governor Jack Ranguma, who has been at the helm of the county leadership for the past five and a-half years.He said the meeting would help find solutions to the current crisis facing the hospital for it to resume its operations immediately.Nyong'o's action comes after nurses strike entered its 83rd day August 25, across the country, paralysing health operations in all public hospitals in the counties, as they demand pay hike and good working environment.
