Kang’ata Care Programme launched

“Next year July with consultation with Murang’a County Assembly another 10,000 households will be recruited to benefit from the programme,” said Kang’ata.

 The Governor was accompanied by NHIF Chief Executive Officer Peter Kamunyu who stressed on the need for Kenyans to be registered with the insurance scheme.

 The recruitment of the beneficiaries in the health programme, Kang’ata said, started with the elderly persons with over 60 year the governor said included  the old, those with life threatening diseases, homes run by a single parent among others.

“This is a milestone achieved as the beneficiary in the Kang’ata Care programme  will get treatment at no charge,” said Kang’ata.

The CHvs, he said will be engaged by the County Government in various programmes including monitoring the ECDEs Uji programme to ensure  the success.

" The CHVs will be trained in a programme that will be facilitated by World Bank  to ensure they are conversant  with the responsibilities," said the Governor.

 In matters pertaining collection of revenue, the Governor said the digitalization  programme piloted within Murang’a town  will be rolled out in the entire county come January.

“ My interest is to ensure the revenue collected is prudently used  for the interest of Murang’a residents,’ said Kang’ata.

 In the supplementary budget, he said  Sh8 million was allocated to each ward  to allow MCAs spearhead development programmes in the wards.

 Present were MCAs led by Majority Leader Francis Kibe Wassary, Kangari MCAs Moses Mirara( Kangari) Gathee Wa Njeri(Gaturi)  John Mwangi (Nginda )  among others.
