Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi on Friday fired doctors at Igegania Level Four Hospital in Gatundu North who refused to attend to an 11-year-old boy, leading to his death.
Speaking at a funeral in Tinganga, Kiambu Township Sub-County, the governor said the medics' actions were inexcusable, especially since they are on the county payroll.
He said that doctors who are participating in the strike had also been sacked.
The governor said it was unacceptable that doctors who were getting paid by the county would deliberately fail to attend to a sick boy, leading to his death.
