Mwangangi was launching the Kenya Medical Training College campus in Awendo on Thursday, December 2.
In her speech, the CAS urged residents to continue observing COVID-19 health protocols set by the government.
"Coronavirus is still a threat and it is important that we continue wearing our masks and social distance. The vaccine is also important. We need to avail ourselves at medical centers to get the jabs," the CAS said,
In his address, Odinga stated that the opening of the campus marked a new beginning in training of nursing and health personnel in Migori and the country as a whole.
"When your MP (Walter Owino, Migori) invited me to come and witness the opening of this campus, I told him I must come. Provision of quality health service is a fundamental human right. We have cases where our people have died because the hospitals do not have special doctors," Odinga noted.
