In a rejoinder;
- A security agent informs #iKUWEiKUWE Updates that they are greatly demoralised by the Bungoma County Covid-19 team Co-Chaired by Governor Wycliffe Wangamati and the Commissioner. He reckons that the Police are slowly withdrawing Covid related roadblocks, contact tracing and suspects his colleagues are slowly withdrawing from securing Covid-19 facilities due to the high handedness of the CECM Health, low regard from the executive and lack of allowances. He further informed that the contact tracing team receives nothing, not even airtime and when they do trace suspected cases the CECM undermines their efforts. “Now that health is devolved function as the CECM keeps reminding us, our services seem to be unwanted” said the agent
