The Council of Governors (CoG) wants the Ministry of Health and US government to recruit a third-party agency to distribute HIV commodities to ease the shortage in county health facilities. 

CoG Vice-Chairman James Ongwae (Kisii) said blame game between county governments and the Ministry of Health on the distribution of anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) has led to the suffering of over 1.1 million HIV patients in the country.
