𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐋 𝟒 𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄!😭😭😭

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji has today visited Ishiara Level 4 Hospital and what he found is a complete disgrace. The facility is in a deplorable condition, with a dirty and neglected environment that can easily expose patients to even more diseases instead of healing them.

A hospital should be a place of safety, cleanliness and dignity, but what is happening in Ishiara is unacceptable and shameful for Embu County.

Hon. Mukunji has now boldly challenged Governor Cecily Mbarire to either resign or ensure the facility is fully improved within one month. This is not politics, this is about the lives of wananchi who deserve proper healthcare.

Embu people deserve better!
A whole Level 4 hospital cannot look like this in 2026!

𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐄: ISHIARA LEVEL 4 HOSPITAL CONDITIONS!

It is heartbreaking and disgusting that in 2026, a mortuary attendant at Ishiara Level 4 Hospital is forced to hang a bucket of water on the wall just to wash and embalm bodies. This is not only humiliating to workers, but also inhuman and disrespectful to the dead and their families. Even worse, the water being used in the facility is dirty and unsafe, exposing patients and staff to serious health risks.

Yet when the people of Ishiara raised their voices to demand better services, the response was not solutions, it was bullets. Three young lives were taken for protesting a hospital that lacks basic necessities like clean water. That is not leadership, that is oppression.

𝐒𝐀𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: 😭😭The heartbreaking killing of two innocent young men in Ishiara, Mbeere North, is a painful reminder of how cheaply the government values the lives of ordinary citizens. The people of Ishiara were not criminals, they were simply raising genuine concerns about the poor state of Ishiara Level 4 Hospital, a facility that should be saving lives, not becoming the reason lives are lost.

Kenyans have a constitutional right to protest and demand better services. Complaining about a failing hospital is not a crime. It is a cry for help. It is a demand for dignity. Instead of listening and acting with urgency, the government responded with brutality, bullets, and bloodshed.

What makes this even more painful is the hypocrisy. Just a few months ago, the same county and national government leaders were in Embu campaigning for their UDA candidates. They came begging for votes, praising the people, promising development, and singing Tutams. That time, they needed the people. Today, they are killing the same people for speaking up.

This is unacceptable. No government should silence its citizens through violence. Justice must be served, and those responsible for this cruel act must be held accountable.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and may their families find strength. Ishiara deserves hospitals, not graves. 💔🕯️

𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐎𝐖: Serious concerns are emerging from the Embu High Court as journalists have reportedly been chased away and barred from covering the opening, scrutiny, and verification of election materials in the Mbeere North by-election petition.

The media plays a critical role in ensuring transparency and accountability, especially in sensitive electoral processes. Locking them out raises more questions than answers. What is being hidden from the public eye? Why deny Kenyans the right to follow such a crucial democratic process?

This move fuels growing fears of possible cover-ups and undermines public trust in the justice system. Transparency is not optional, it is the foundation of credible elections and a functioning democracy.
