Nairobi County Governor Dr Evans Kidero on Thursday canceled free maternity administrations after the national government neglected to repay the district for Sh165 million spent in offering the administration.
Kidero said the move to reestablish installments was required by the high consumption by the region government and absence of discounts from the administration.
"Free maternity administrations were a task of the national government in conjunction with the districts, the legislature was to meet the bills acquired yet it has not and now we are left with no decision yet to nullify it," he said.
Free maternity was one of the Jubilee lead extends that were guaranteed in the Jubilee Manifesto amid battles in the keep running up to the last General Election.
President Uhuru Kenyatta had guaranteed that free maternity administrations would be offered in every single open healing center.
This viably scrapped any tolls to pregnant ladies looking to convey babies in these healing centers.
"In consistence to focal government order on procurement of free maternity administrations, Nairobi County has a remarkable repayment of more than nine months, adding up to Sh165,171,980 whose points of interest are well inside of the information of the Health Ministry," Kidero noted.
Kidero expressed that the weight of paying specialists and medical caretakers had now been exchanged to the area government for maternity administrations and that it was excessively costly, making it impossible to give benefits that don't create any salary.
"We can't manage the cost of it and unless the administration does as such we will be compelled to charge for maternity administrations," he included.
The administration has allegedly been encountering a money mash in the course of recent weeks, however it has not been discovered if this is the primary purpose behind the disappointment in diverting the assets.
Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich has reliably credited the deficiency of cash to the disappointment by the Kenya Revenue Authority to hit its objectives for the month of October.
