Kirinyaga MCAs Agree Not To Use Uhuru’s Car Grants For Personal Vehicles
Instead, the ward reps have agreed to use the loans to boost the county’s health sector.
Speaking after the morning assembly session on Wednesday, Thiba MCA Pius Njogu said they deliberated to buy ambulances.
“We will not take the loan as Kirinyaga MCAs. Instead, each ward is going to have an ambulance from the car loan that the president said will be given as a way to boost the health sector and also save lives,” Njogu said.
The MCA noted that since an ambulance is more expensive than a car, they have resorted to ensuring that all sub-counties get at least one.
