Kiambu County's Chief Officer for Health, Patrick Nyagah, has refuted claims of paralyzed health services due to a 127-day doctors' strike, asserting that a significant number of doctors are still working. This clarification comes amid reports of tragic deaths, including 136 newborns and five mothers, during the strike period.

• Governor Kimani Wamatangi dismissed criticisms as politically motivated, stating only a small number of doctors were on strike and their salaries were discontinued.
• Members of Parliament (MPs) have called for Kiambu's health services to be transferred to the national government.
• Lobby groups have given the Kiambu County Government seven days to address the issue, threatening to petition for the county’s dissolution.
• Former Chief Justice David Maraga criticized the national government and the Social Health Authority (SHA) for health access failures.
• Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba urged national institutions and civil society to intervene in the healthcare crisis.
