Kenyans mock Kivutha’s locally generated oxygen
Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana has been on the receiving end on social media with Kenyans making fun of his statement that the county produces oxygen used in hospitals within the county.
The governor who was speaking during a health conference in his county tweeted the statement that elicited mixed reactions.
Some users pointed out that food security is greater priority to the residents as opposed to oxygen production for resuscitation services in hospitals.
Other users wondered if the county government had the capacity to produce oxygen.
In January 2017, Makueni County bought several oxygen generating plants and one unit was delivered to the county referral hospital on January 21, 2017.
