Some rogue health officers have been deceiving patients that the County Government foregone medicine, gloves and other important items at the expense of buying fertilisers and dishing free maize seedlings to Muranga Citizenry. One of the patients who talked to KK ONLINE NEWS on condition of anonymity confirmed that he was asked to go and buy gloves, scalpels and some other items by a health officer.
"The doctor told me that Governor Mwangi Wa Iria has not equipped the hospital with medical facilities since he prioritised in assisting farmers with maize seedlings and fertilisers," a patient who had just bought the items told KK ONLINE.
However, according to Joseph Mbai, the Chief Officer in the Health Department has trashed the claims insisting that there is enough medicine and other medical facilities in the Hospital. "It's evil and unethical for nurses and doctors to lie to patients who are in dire need of the service," Mbai told KK Online News On Phone.
Mbai has confirmed that several patients have raised concerns that they are being turned away by a section of malicious nurses who he believes are settling old grudges with patients. "I won't allow this to go on, If one wants to join active politics let him or her resign first but we will not bestow 'politicians henchmen' with the health of our people", Mbai said.
He told KK Online that he has issued Circulars reminding the nurses that it is against the medical ethics to lie to Kenyans
