Kitengela Sub-County Hospital suffered significant damage on July 7 after hundreds of individuals broke into and vandalized the facility during the Saba Saba Day demonstrations.

Reacting to the incident, the County Government of Kajiado has urged security agencies to launch a thorough investigation.
County officials called for the immediate identification and arrest of all those involved in the brazen act of vandalism, emphasizing the need for accountability. "We call on security agencies to investigate thoroughly, identify those involved, and ensure accountability under the rule of law," a statement from the County Government emphasized. The Kajiado County Department of Medical Services and Public Health, however, confirmed that no patients or staff suffered physical harm during the July 7 attack.
