The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has threatened a nationwide strike in 19 days, citing the alleged deaths of 136 newborns in Kiambu County and what they term "callous insensitivity" from the Council of Governors (CoG).

• The strike is scheduled for October 25.
• CoG Chairperson and Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi dismissed claims of infant deaths as rumors, asserting the Kiambu health system is functional.
• The KMPDU demands a public apology from the CoG, a full retraction of their remarks, an independent investigation into the infant deaths, and the dissolution of the Kiambu County government.
