Machakos County Government Dr Alfred Mutua has said that his government will employ more health workers to help enhance health service in the county.
Mutua revealed this when he toured Machakos level 5 hospital on Wednesday to inspect development projects in the hospital.
“The county government will employ 200 nurses, 50 doctors, 20 lab attendants and 50 consultants,” said Mutua.
Mutua has also confirmed that Machakos level five hospital will benefit with a cancer machine from the national government among other facilities.
“There is a cancer machine that we have been given by the national government, our patients will not be going to Nairobi or other places for cancer treatment,” said Mutua.
He urged county employees to be patient incase their salaries get late with few days.
Mutua demonstrated his anger on health workers who went on strike over delayed salaries asking them if they are not comfortable to resign.
“Those who feel that they cannot work when their salaries are delayed for five days only can pack and go. We do not need impatient people in Machakos,” said Mutua.
