Board put in a spot over staff shortage at Kenneth Matiba Hospital

Murang’a County Public Service Board has turned down requests by the management of Kenneth Matiba Hospital to hire radiographers and opticians, compromising the quality of service, medical officers have said.

The officers asked Murang’a Governor Mwangi wa Iria to intervene when he inspected the eye unit ahead of its official opening.  “All the dental equipment have been fixed but we are awaiting for the availability of a radiographer,” said Dr Stephen Irungu of the dental unit.

Iria immediately summoned the Public Service Board for a crisis meeting.  “I cannot allow anybody to sabotage the Murang’a county government strategy towards quality healthcare,” said Iria. Two months ago, the governor stopped the board from sending away hundreds of casual workers.
