Health PS Susan Mochache has defended the government’s decision to allocate Sh268 million to the Kenya Red Cross Society to train community health volunteers. Appearing before the Senate Standing Committee on Health, Mochache said the ministry did not have the capacity to conduct the training and assured that all the arrangements were within the law. “KRCS contributed Sh14.4 million towards implementation of the community health project funded by the Ministry of Health. Mochache noted that KRCS supported county coordinators to organise training venues and logistical support of the national and county health teams to supervise the trainings. “KRCS attached vehicles to each of the counties to support local supervisory movements by the national and county health teams.
