Since the strike started last month, scores of Kenyans have been unable to access care, and in some dare cases, some have even lost their lives,\u201d<\/em> the notice of motion reads in part.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Doctors\u2019 Collective Bargaining Agreement<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Babu Owino added that CS Nakhumicha has also neglected to uphold the doctors\u2019 Collective Bargaining Agreement and has instead adopted a firm stance, threatening the doctors with dismissal and replacement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>She has failed to appreciate the seriousness of the strike and has failed to provide a lasting solution to settle the demands of the medics including the hiring of intern doctors and payment of salary arrears. I will be moving this motion and seek the resolution of the House to require President William Ruto to dismiss the CS from office,\u201d<\/em> said the lawmaker.<\/p>\n<p>Babu Owino mentioned that he has since submitted the evidence to substantiate his case against Nakhumicha. He also claimed the motion has already received the support of 111 MPs.<\/p>\n<p>The MP will then seek permission from the Speaker to proceed with collecting signatures, which must be endorsed by at least a third of the 349 members before the motion can be approved for reading on the floor of the House.<\/p>\n<p>At a joint press conference with the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), Babu Owino also warned that MPs will participate in the industrial action if the government does not heed the striking doctors\u2019 demands.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe don\u2019t want govt to demand, invite\u2026.don\u2019t demand. When you push, we, KMPDU and MPs will push, when you pull, we\u2019ll resist\u2026.when you demand we will refuse,\u201d<\/em> Owino declared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Babu Owino has written to the National Assembly speaker, expressing his intention to initiate an impeachment motion against Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha.
