The Ministry of Health has accused the National Treasury of ignoring President William Ruto's directive.

Principal Secretary for Medical Services, Harry Kimtai, told the National Assembly Parliamentary Committee on Health that a request for about Sh8.2 billion for projects under the presidential directive was not honoured despite correspondences from the Chief of Staff and Head of the Public Service Felix Koskei.
