Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui has warned individuals encroaching on public land.
Speaking after being handed a report by Health task force on the status of health facilities in the county, the governor was categorical that public land should remain public and not for private individuals.
“There are a number of hospitals and dispensaries as well as other public amenities whose land has been grabbed and it must be put to record that once we start working we will recover all that and ensure the land is returned to the public,” he said.
The county chief also added that all hospitals in Nakuru County will now have a master plan to enable future expansion as well as development.
On the issue of Healthcare staff, Governor Lee said the county will work with other partners to ensure health care staff welfare is looked into.
It is for this reason that he called on the nurses who are still on strike to return to work.
The report from the Health task force will now be tabled in the county assembly before it is approved for implementation.
