A State medical agency has said Narok and Nakuru would not get drugs and medical supplies amid acute shortage reported in public hospitals.

Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (Kemsa) told The Standard in an interview last week that counties in the South and North Rift owed them millions in pending bills with no clear road map on how to settle them.
