Among health facilities that were installed with X-ray machines are Sultan Hamud, Mbooni, Tawa, Kilungu and Kibwezi subcounties hospitals respectively.

Additionally, the Governor revealed that the county government has sunk a borehole in Muatinini village which will provide water to the hospital and the surrounding schools in the area.
On talent, Mutula said that his government will construct an artificially tough stadium at Sultan Hamud with the help of Konza Institute of Commercial Management, which is geared towards promoting the talent of the youths in Makueni County.
