Roba said the construction of modern accident and emergency center and maternity wing at Mandera County Referral Hospital is a big step aimed at improving health sector in the region.
He said the facilities will enhance medical care.
"We are doing everything possible to improve the health sector in the region. I call on contractors to hasten the construction of service delivery to the people to start soon," he said.
