The Kirinyaga governor Ann Waiguru who is also the Council of Governors boss has affirmed that, the health function is a devolved function and therefore, they will not accept to be sidelined. She is clear that that, the roll out of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) must involve all the governors.
Ann Nderitu has maintained that, the 4 bills that are set to be taken in Parliament must take the views of Governors. The governor and other stakeholders in the health sector met CS Health Susan Nakhumicha to discuss of the new details.

Waiguru had previously accused the Ministry of Health of trying to launch the Universal Health Coverage without taking the views of Governors. The latest approach by Waiguru is a clear confirmation that governors do not want to be left behind.
Ann Waiguru is one of the governors who are fully focused on issues around health and that’s indeed commendable. The governor is firm that, the National Government and County governments must work together for the interest of the people.
