“The army will supervise the contractor. It is as clear as that. All the labour will be done by the youths in Sogoo. We will put two officers and every evening they will give me a report on the progress.
We have over 75 projects we are supervising and it is not that we are replacing agencies of government we just want to partner with different offices among them the ministries of health and sports,” said PS Patrick
Governor Patrick Ntutu welcomed the news revealing how residents have been travelling to Bomet County to access health services.
The Governor continued by revealing how President William Ruto had pledged to ensure the construction of the hospital through KDF.
