Over 8000 Webuye residents benefits from free medical camp courtesy of Joseph Waswa foundation

 Over 8,000 residents of Webuye West have benefited from a series of free medical camps organized by the Joseph Waswa Foundation, in an initiative that has offered much-needed healthcare services and stirred political conversation in equal measure.

The medical camps, which were rolled out across four wards — Bokoli, Matulo, Misikhu, and Sitikho  wards  provided residents with free consultations, diagnosis, treatment, and medicine. The large turnout and widespread appreciation have made the initiative one of the most significant community health drives in the region in recent months.

Foundation Director Isaac Wanjekeche, speaking during the final day of the camps in Misikhu Ward, emphasized that the program was a response to increasing medical appeals from vulnerable families, and dismissed claims linking the initiative to early political campaigning.

“We are giving back to the society that raised us. This is a humanitarian effort, not a political campaign. Our work is driven by the needs we see on the ground,” said Wanjekeche.

Event coordinator Moses Wamoto echoed Wanjekeche’s remarks, urging critics to focus on the impact rather than the motives. “Let’s not politicize service. People are sick and in need. That should be our focus, not 2027.”

Residents who turned up in large numbers expressed gratitude for the services, especially amid rising healthcare costs and limited access to medical facilities in rural parts of the constituency.
