How Sh14 million for health volunteers was plunderedGovernor Wycliffe Oparanya (pictured) is under pressure to fire top county officials implicated in the loss of close to Sh14 million earmarked for health care services. A section of members of the county assembly now want the county chief to sack Public Health Officer Evelyn Mulunji, Community Health Services Coordinator Chris Lumiti and his deputy, Stephen Anjeche over the matter. The money is part of funds meant to clear arrears owed to the community health volunteers deployed across the 60 wards. Investigations by Health Services and Sanitation Committee chaired by Isongo–Malaha MCA Lucas Radoli revealed alleged misappropriation of the funds. The county has 429 community health units and 4,290 volunteers.
