Governor Badilisha said that the move is meant to reduce travel distance by the residents in seeking medication.
According to him, this is one of his manifestos to open health facilities in every one of the 25 wards.
"This is a dream come true for the people of Munyeki village. As promised we will have health centers and dispensaries in each of our wards," he noted.
He regretted that residents have been traveling to JM Kariuki hospital, Nyahururu hospital and Engineer hospital to seek medication which are kilometers away.
"This will now be a thing of the past. The residents will be walking close to their doorsteps to seek medication. This is our promise to residents which we have fulfilled," noted Badilisha.
He noted that all the facilities had been equipped with enough drugs as well as staff.
"That is why we have been ranked number two in terms of development expenditure. We are doing this to make sure that our people get better services in terms of health," he said.
Residents commended the move saying that they will not be traveling few kilometres to seek medication.
"This has always been our wish. We will now be traveling a few kilometres to seek medication," said John Kimani.
