She told her audience that healthcare which forms the second Pillar of her manifesto is set for unprecedented  improvement.  "For the first time in history, Kitui Referral hospital has all the equipment needed for various diagnosis, ranging from Ultra sound CT scanners , Ex-Ray and ECG (Electro cardiography) machines,all procured by my administration", she said. The equipment will be used in Kitui Referral Hospital that the school  has chosen as their prefered facility for treatment. The Governor said no one should travel far distances to seem treatment  as they used to.

The school's Principal Mr Simon Njagi expressed their gratitude to the Governor  for visiting to grieve with the school,saying a friend in need is a friend indeed.

 Njagi added that the school has adopted her phrase, *Kitui mbee nzei* and is even putting the boys in a forward move. 

 He said the boy will be buried on Tuesday in Mwingi central.
