Amid the ongoing doctors’ strike, a group of leaders from Kenya Kwanza has issued a heartfelt plea to the striking medical practitioners, urging them to cease the strike action and engage in dialogue with the government to address their grievances. Led by Nandi County Senator Samson Cherargei, these leaders emphasized the importance of prioritizing the well-being of patients and finding a resolution through constructive negotiations.
Speaking emphatically about the urgent need to resolve the impasse, Adams Kipsanai, MP for Keiyo North, highlighted the challenges posed by the doctors’ demands in light of the country’s current economic situation. He stressed the significance of returning to the negotiating table to alleviate the suffering of patients and ensure that politics does not overshadow the lives of the people.
“We urge our doctors to consider the plight of our people and put an end to the strike,” stated Senator Cherargei. “Let us come together and engage in meaningful discussions with the government to find a sustainable solution. The health and well-being of our citizens should be our top priority.”
Acknowledging the complexities surrounding the strike, Kipsanai emphasized the government’s commitment to addressing the concerns raised by medical professionals. He called upon the doctors to refrain from imposing unrealistic conditions on the government and urged them to demonstrate compassion by returning to their duty stations.
“We understand the challenges facing our economy, but we must work together to find a way forward,” added Kipsanai. “The government is willing to address the issues raised by our doctors, including concerns related to Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Let us not allow our people to suffer unnecessarily.”
In a heartfelt plea to the medical fraternity, these Kenya Kwanza leaders appealed to doctors to end the strike and resume their vital roles in providing essential healthcare services to the citizens. They emphasized the need for unity and collaboration to overcome the current crisis and ensure that all Kenyans have access to quality medical care.
