Efforts to expand the JM Kariuki Memorial Hospital through the JM Complex hospital named Mashujaa Complex are proving to be difficult with the county now appealing for help from the government.
Nyandarua Governor, Dr Moses Kiarie, pleaded with the national government to add more funds to the project as the county was running out of capacity to fund it.
According to the governor, the county had already spent Ksh1 billion on the construction of the complex, but it is not done yet.
Speaking during a sight visit on Thursday, the governor revealed that the projected total cost exceeds Ksh1.5 billion, emphasising the urgent need for additional funds to complete it. "The JM Mashujaa structural works are almost complete, and the remaining works, which are the installation of medical glasses, theatres, and mechanical works, among other finer finishes, are the biggest task now.
