Kiambu Senator Karung'o Wa Thang'wa on Wednesday issued a rallying call to striking healthcare workers, urging them to attend Thursday's Senate session and confront Governor Kimani Wamatangi over the ongoing healthcare crisis in Kiambu County.
In a statement, the senator faulted the governor as he demanded full accountability as the health crisis in the county entered its 70th day. "The governor has failed both the medical professionals and the people of Kiambu.
While I sympathise with the doctors over the unbearable workload and conditions, it is the patients who continue to bear the heaviest burden - suffering in under-resourced, barely functioning hospitals," the senator observed.
Thang'wa noted Wamatangi's impending appearance before the Senate Committee on Devolution on August 7, 2025, calling on the striking medical personnel to seize the opportunity to confront the county boss. This is despite Wamatangi's appearance before the committee primarily meant to make a case on why Thika should be elevated to a city.
