The Doctors under the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union who were on 138th day of the strike, accused the county of playing politics with people’s lives.

Duale sounded the alarm over rising maternal deaths in the region, blaming county leadership for what he termed as failure in governance
