'Kilifi turned down medical equipment,' Health CS Macharia now says

Kilifi County government refused the medical equipment commissioned by President Uhuru Kenyatta, Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia has told a House committee.

The CS told the Health Committee of the National Assembly that the equipment unveiled by President Kenyatta at the Machakos Level 5 Hospital was meant for Kilifi. He said the equipment was diverted to Machakos after the Kilifi County government failed to co-operate with the contractors and showed lack of interest.
