Dr Nelly Bosire, an Obstetrician has criticised Sonko for being “uninformed”. She was referring to the fact that the colonial-era facility has no mortuary for infants, no body-bags and other facilities and that the County Government had not met all the requests to improve services by the hospital.
This in turn has shown Sonkos incompetency at governance level for failing to improve the facility.
Health cabinet secretary has looked into the situation and gone deaf on Sonkos’ behavior without proper consultation.

Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki has since asked the sector’s regulatory agencies to look into the matter. She expects the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDU), Nursing Council of Kenya and clinical officers Council to report back within 24 hours.
Dr Bosire posted: “But did Sonko bother to find out this? Nope. He chose to call it sinister because he did not understand it. He proceeded to suspend the team without investigation”.
1. One more time Pumwani hospital faces public mobbing, led by it’s very own governor???. He suspends his foot soldiers instead of his ‘advisors’. What happened to facts? The press has joined in the lynching @KTNNews @ntvkenya @KTNKenya

The Directorate of Public Prosecutions has also waded into the matter and ordered an investigation on the matter.
