Health facilities in Vihiga will now be able to collect, retain, and manage their own revenues after the enactment of a new law by the county government.

Governor Wilber Ottichilo assented to the Vihiga County Facilities Improvement Financing Bill, 2025, that eliminates bureaucratic bottlenecks which have long delayed access to critical funds.
