Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has explained the reason behind suspension of Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Lily Koro.
Speaking on Tuesday during an interview on NTV, Khalwale, said that Koros as the CEO ought to take the political and administrative failures of KNH.
According to Khalwale, unnecessarily exposing patients to the radioactive material by using a radiotherapy machine that was allegedly written off 19 years back was one of Koros' failures.
The former lawmaker further faulted Koros over alleged incidents of rape against mothers at the facility early this year.According to Khalwale, the maternal mortality rate at KNH was very high.
Recently, the hospital has been on the spot over the alleged theft of babies from the facility.
The epitome of these failures, according to Khalwale, is the confusion in theatre management that saw doctors open the skull of the wrong patient under controversial circumstances.
In his view, the CEO had failed to put the appropriate administrative systems and procedures in place hence should be held accountable and the lead Surgeon in the head surgery saga exonerated.
