Alarm as political battles leave Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital in disarray
Kisii Governor Simba Arati. Two weeks ago, Governor Simba Arati sacked two morticians, accusing them of being used by his opponents to sabotage his administration. This is after cooling machines at the mortuary broke down. Mr Arati claimed the duo had intentionally switched off the equipment.
Local leaders have turned the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital (KTRH) into a battleground and, its staff, their punching bags.
This is according to its board, who now say enough is enough. They want politicians to leave day-to-day operations to the management in a bid to restore public trust in the facility.
