Today, I enacted two bills into law: the Kilifi County Community Health Services Act, 2023, and the Sexual and Gender Based Violence Act, 2023.
The main purpose of the Community Health Services Act is to ensure the advancement of community-based primary healthcare services and also facilitate the provision of monthly allowances and NHIF medical coverage for Community Health Promoters (CHPs).
On the other hand, the Sexual and Gender-Based Act aims to establish measures for raising awareness, preventing, and responding to instances of sexual and gender-based violence.
We extend our gratitude to the Kilifi County Assembly, led by Speaker Hon. Teddy Mwambire, for swiftly passing these bills in order to enhance social welfare and healthcare within our county.
