An investigation by the Nation has established that Migori, Kisii and Nyamira counties have set aside about Sh1 billion to fight Covid-19. On its part, Nyamira County received Sh59 million from the national government and set aside Sh110 million from its budget. Migori received Sh60 million from the national government and set aside Sh40 million from its internal resources. Nyamira County currently has about 120 isolation beds, which is far below the 300 target ordered by President Uhuru Kenyatta. At Nyamira Referral Hospital, a Sh9.5 million Covid-19 isolation centre was launched by Governor John Nyagarama about a month ago.
