Residents of Kakamega are set to pay more for health services in public hospitals courtesy of a new bill currently being reviewed by the county assembly.

The Kakamega County Finance Bill, 2022, has proposed additional hospital levies and this has not gone down well with residents who opposed the plan during a public participation forum at Kakamega Social Hall on Monday.
