If she understood the medical world and how doctors function then she would know what to do,\u201d he stated, highlighting the dire state of patients in deserted hospital wards.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Maanzo went further, advocating for public demonstrations in support of the medical practitioners, emphasizing the urgent need for Nakhumicha\u2019s departure and reforms in the health sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf more lives should be lost then all Kenyans should join the doctors in a strike. We should have demonstrations as there has never been in this country for her resignation and for the health sector to be set right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Senator suggested that devolving health services to counties could offer a viable solution to the ongoing impasse.<\/p>\n<p>This proposal comes amid growing calls for Nakhumicha\u2019s impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>Embakasi East MP Babu Owino announced his intention to file an impeachment motion against the CS, citing \u201cgross violation of the constitution and incompetence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The motion reportedly has the backing of 111 MPs and has further support from the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK)\u2019s demand for Nakhumicha\u2019s resignation due to her failure to address the health sector\u2019s staffing crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing doctors\u2019 strike, led by the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) since March 15, originated from demands for unpaid salaries and the hiring of intern doctors.<\/p>\n<p>The government has offered 2.4 billion shillings aimed at resolving the issue, but the union rejected it, arguing it does not fulfill the 2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo is the latest politician to call for the resignation of Health Cabinet Secretary (CS) Susan Nakhumicha, labeling her as incompetent in handling the ongoing health sector crisis.
