As expected, drama would follow the appointment of Former Kenyatta National hospital CEO Lily Koros as an administrative secretary at the Health Ministry, writing off her return to the referral hospital.
Principal secretary Peter Tum confirmed her hiring and said she will work under him in the administrative wing.
The ministry is divided into the technical wing headed by the Director of Medical Services and administration section headed by the PS.
“She is in charge of administration and her job entails oversight of the general administration duties in the ministry, which include finance, accounts and other departments,” he said.
Following the news KOT with concerns on leaders from the rift being under siege in the graft wars have rejected the change with one hilariously implying the position is not lucrative enough.

Health Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki sent Ms Koros on compulsory leave in March in the wake of a neurosurgery mix-up that resulted in brain surgery being performed on the wrong patient.
Her suspension elicited mixed reactions with a section of legislators from the Rift Valley criticizing the move and threatening to impeach the Cabinet Secretary for health. Ms Koros was hired as head of KNH in February 2014.
Another twitter user termed her new appointment after her previous accusations as being comical.
Someone (Lily Koros) is suspended from KNH for incompetence, tribalism and malfeasance then later appointed as ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY in the ministry of health.
?????
Kenya is comical.
