According to the legislator, the former CS was doing a great job and making major contributions to the Ministry of Health during her tenure.
“I believe that Nakhumicha was doing a very good job when she was in office. As you continue to arrange the government, remember Nakhumicha,” the legislator stated.
Responding to the request, Ruto acknowledged Nakhumicha’s contributions to the health sector, stating that she did a commendable job during her tenure as cabinet secretary.
“I must thank two leaders, former Health CS Susan Nakhumicha who started with me, and current Health CS Deborah Barasa who is helping me in that sector,” the president stated.
