Renal patients at Naivasha Level 5 Hospital requiring dialysis now have cause for optimism. This week, we installed five new dialysis machines to replace obsolete equipment. The hospital is now fully equipped to facilitate dialysis for 10 patients daily. During a tour of the facility this afternoon, I interacted with patients undergoing treatment reported highly positive outcomes regarding their clinical care. Furthermore, critical structural infrastructure is currently being developed to accommodate the installation of an advanced CT scanner. We will follow it with MRI services. Recently elevated to Level 5 status, the hospital has institutionalized critical specialized services, including cardiology, oncology, and radiology. Concurrently, we are increasing of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds from two to 10. These strategic upgrades have triggered a significant rebound in both outpatient and inpatient admissions, with a corresponding increase in hospital revenue. The facility now attends to an impressive total of 180,000 patients annually. To enhance service delivery, we plan to construct as new inpatient block and a new maternity wing. We've also initiated the construction of four new operating theatres to minimize surgical waiting times and external referrals. Am committed to improved service delivery, upgraded medical equipment and more specialized services at Naivasha Level 5 Hospital.

Officially commissioned the construction of the Sh60.7 million Kabugi Irrigation Scheme in Gitare, Murindat Ward, Gilgil Sub-County. This solar-powered infrastructure will bring 160.5 acres under irrigation, benefiting 321 farmers and 1,500 residents across Gitare, Cura, and Kigogo by transitioning from rain-fed to year-round commercial agriculture, boost food production and improve household incomes. Further development projects in Murindat Ward include the ongoing processing of title deeds in Karunga, the planned maternity wing at Karunga Health Centre, and a Level 5 Hospital in Gilgil. In education, Sh5.8 million in bursaries was recently awarded to 983 students. The county continues to provide Sh30,000 capitation for Vocational Training Centre (VTC) learners and will launch free uniforms for ECDE learners in January. Additional investments span the water, infrastructure, and trade sectors. The launch was attended by MCAs P M Njoroge (Murindat) Francis Kuria (Malewa West), and Isabella Makori (Subukia).
