Plans to build a Level Four hospital in Kieni West might not materialise after area Member of Parliament Kanini Kega withdrew his support citing disagreements on a suitable site.

The Kieni MP said that the Sh30 million he had pledged towards the joint project between the national government and Nyeri County Government would now be used to put up a medical college.
