MP Jared Okelo implores President Ruto to intervene on doctors' strike

While lamenting that Kenyans are currently suffering as a result of the ongoing strike, Nyando MP Jared Okelo said Kenya Kwanza government has refused to address the doctors’ grievances.

He has therefore petitioned the President to come out of his comfort and address the matter, arguing that those who had been sent on the negotiating table are all jokers who are not committed to finding a solution into the impasse.

Okelo, who spoke in Ugunja constituency, reminded Ruto that the Constitution he swore to protect also provides Kenyans with a right of access to proper healthcare.

The lawmaker said patients are dying and there is no one to help because the government has refused to address the plight of the doctors.

He therefore warned that they shall not allow the situation to continue any further, arguing that the government has been collecting a lot of money from Kenyans in form of taxes.
