Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang'wa has issued a seven-day ultimatum to Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi to resolve the ongoing medical strike in the county.
In a statement on Thursday, July 24, the lawmaker claimed that if the governor fails to take action within the given timeframe, he will move a motion to summon Wamatangi before the Senate.
For the past 58 days, hospital operations in Kiambu County have been in paralysis after doctors downed their tools, citing a lack of promotions, punitive actions against doctors who raise concerns, and inadequate medical cover.
According to Karungo, the strike, which he described as 'irresponsible and shameful', has not only paralysed healthcare services in the county but has also placed the lives of Kiambu residents at risk.
