The Kenya National Union of Nurses, Uasin Gishu branch has criticised a Motion passed by the County Assembly allowing the county government to buy six hearses.
Speaking to journalists on Monday, Knun Chairperson John Biiy said that those funds should be set aside to improve health services.
"It is so ironical for the county to approve such Motions when the state of health facilities is not good," said Biiy.
Mr Biiy noted that the county should struggle to solve the issue of patient congestion and nurses pay instead of misplacing its priorities.
Biiy urged Governor Jackson Mandago not to implement the approval.
"Death has been there and we have been burying our loved ones, acquiring hearses is as sign that the county is prepared to loose more people," he noted.
He further said that they will ensure that they sensitise its union members to vote for good leadership.
