Mutahi Kagwe held fruitful discussions with World Bank Vice President for the African Region Hafez Ghanem who relayed commitment from the Washingon headquartered organization that it will release the funds immediately to help Kenya deal with the threat posed by the dreaded disease.
We are glad that the World Bank has come to our aid and quickly too. The emergency response is going to be well funded. We pointed out our weak areas, where we have financing gaps and they assured us that we will not bump into administrative delays when we ask for the funds,” said Kagwe.
Kagwe revealed all of the 47 counties have already identified and set aside isolation areas in key hospitals and are expected to submit their budgetary estimates to the national government within the next two days to enable the national government plan.
