To Arama, Kapkures hospital needs to be expanded as Nakuru Level 5 Hospital exists. Last year, deputy president William Ruto during his tour in Nakuru West promised that Sh100 million would be released by the government for the expansion of Kapkures Hospital.

Ogada says residents are set to hold peaceful demonstrations to force Arama to stop the move and ensure public participation principle is adhered to and that the Kapkures Hospital is expanded. Nakuru Town West NG-CDF has been accused of neglecting schools and only focusing on the perimeter walls, as it is with Mogoon Primary School.
