Marigat Sub-County Level 4 Hospital Develops Cracks Months After Commissioning

Marigat Sub-County Level 4 Hospital in Baringo County has developed large cracks in its administration block and near the emergency section, prompting concerns about the safety of patients and staff. Medical Superintendent Patrick Mutua said emergency patients had been moved to the hospital wards as a precaution. President William Ruto commissioned the facility in March 2026, and later ordered its elevation to Level 5 with a planned Ksh1 billion investment. Residents are demanding answers about construction standards and project supervision, with some calling for the building to be demolished.
