When history books of devolution are written, Machakos will stand tall, thanks to the bold, visionary leadership of Governor Wavinya Ndeti. Under her stewardship, Machakos Level 5 Hospital has become the first public hospital in Kenya to successfully perform a non-invasive laser surgical procedure to treat Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI).
This breakthrough is not just a medical milestone; it is a powerful statement of what transformative leadership looks like. For years, this life-saving treatment was reserved for the wealthy in private hospitals, with ordinary Kenyans locked out by high costs. But Governor Wavinya, true to her promise of people-centered leadership, has made it absolutely free under her administration.
By making world-class healthcare accessible to all, Wavinya has not only outshined her peers but also reaffirmed Machakos as the cradle of innovation in public service delivery. While some leaders talk, Governor Wavinya delivers. She has shown that healthcare is not a privilege for the few, but a right for every citizen.
Her recognition of Dr. Debra Mutile and the outstanding Machakos Level 5 medical team reflects her humility and ability to work with professionals to achieve greatness. But let no one be mistaken without Wavinya’s commitment, vision, and firm hand on the wheel, this milestone would have remained a dream for Machakos residents and Kenyans at large.
At a time when many counties are grappling with stalled projects and empty rhetoric, Machakos stands out as a beacon of progress. Governor Wavinya is rewriting the script of devolution by proving that resources, when properly managed, can touch lives directly and permanently.
