Wavinya who was accompanied by her Deputy Francis Mwangangi said her administration will look into the challenges with a view to fixing them and quarantee quality health care to the residents. 
"Health care matters are close to my heart. We shall employ immediate,short and long term plans to address these challenges ",she affirmed. 
Governor Ndeti said she will endeavour to decongest the level 5 hospital by ensuring that the other health institutions across the county are staffed and equipped with medicine so that residents are served within reasonable distance.

The incidents occurred on diverse dates between the months of JULY 2021 and SEPTEMBER 2021. Briefly, on the 4th day of AUGUST 2022, BRENDA WANJIRU went to visit her grandmother at Gathiga in Kabete sub-county during the school mid-term holidays.

They searched for him within and outside the compound but they could not find him. His father was informed over the matter and when he arrived home, they decided to open the water well which is in the compound and was securely locked and upon checking inside, they found the body of MARTIN KIOGORA which was removed and taken to KIHARA HOSPITAL MORTUARY.

Subsequently, her parents went to Kawethei Secondary school on 21/8/2022 and she confessed having murdered Martin Kiogora in front of teachers by drowning him in a water well and the teachers advised the parents to go home with her. 
While still at the school with her parents, and in the presence of the teachers she confessed to have killed all her other three siblings as follows:- On 14/7/2021, she murdered her brother by the name LIAM GICHUHI aged 1 year, 3 months by suffocating him with a pillow placed over his face for about 3-4 minutes until she confirmed that he was not breathing and she then covered him with a blanket.
