Woman Rep Faith Gitau said she was pained to see mothers sharing beds at the maternity ward.
The congestion was also attributed to a shortage of staff and lack of a dispensary within Ol Kalou town.
Nominated MCA Kariuki Waithira who said a piece of land set aside for building Ol Kalou dispensary was grabbed.
Governor Francis Kimemia said Sh100 million has been allocated to upgrade the JM Memorial Hospital.
The JM Kariuki Memorial Level Four Hospital in Ol Kalou, Nyandarua County, which has been in existence for 44 years, will be upgraded to a level five referral hospital at a cost of Sh300 million.
The disclosure was made when local leaders toured the hospital and came face to face with the reality of the pathetic conditions that patients have to bear with.
