The Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) on Sunday demanded swift action from the Ministry of Health and the Kisii County Government, including the immediate closure of Magena Dispensary, following a tragic incident in which a mother and her child succumbed while receiving treatment at the facility.
Led by Vihiga Woman Representative Beatrice Adagala, KEWOPA members toured the facility and sharply criticised its management, raising concerns over its capacity to serve the public effectively.
The lawmakers further called for the apprehension of the facility's senior management, citing gross negligence and failure to take timely action that could have saved the lives of the two victims. ''This is even surprised to be referred to as a hospital.
This deserves to be a cattle shed, and on the contrary, it does not even reach the standards.
