Tharaka Nithi Governor and the chair of the Council of Governors Health Committee, Muthomi Njuki, has suspended a number of health workers in his county following the death of an expectant mother.
According to the governor, cases of maternal deaths in the country are on the increase, and health workers are to be blamed.
The governor revealed that these deaths were unnecessary and could easily be avoided if health workers paid more attention to patients and shunned negligence.
Governor Njuki argued that the heightened cases of maternal deaths in the country have been enabled by medical negligence among the workers.
