Mrs Obado also assured the locals of the mobile clinic in the health sector citing that it will be brought soon in the county and will improve the health department.

“With this improvement in the health sector in our county, we have attracted many donors and well-wishers who want to be associated with us, soon we will receive our mobile clinic and it will be a boost”. She added.

She appealed to the people to be accepting donations from different donors regardless from the areas they come from.

“Everyone wants development but this can only be done in a peaceful environment and I will request our people to be welcoming all the well wishers and donors to help improve the status of our county”. She said.

The new children ward opened today will accommodate over 100 patients and is built at a total cost of Sh. 18 Million will help decongest the children’s ward.

County executive in charge of Health Elijah Odhiambo said the county government will do all it can to continue improving the sector.
