The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has strongly criticized the Council of Governors (CoG) for dismissing reports of 131 infant deaths in Kiambu County as "pure mischief" and "false publication." KMPDU labeled the CoG's response as "heartless" and a "grotesque display of indifference" to human life.

• KMPDU demanded a public retraction, an independent investigation, and meaningful engagement from the CoG regarding the infant deaths in Kiambu County.
• Secretary General Dr. Davji Atellah announced that KMPDU will issue a national strike notice on October 25 in solidarity with striking Kiambu doctors.
• The union also called on President William Ruto to dissolve the Kiambu County Government due to "gross failure and criminal negligence" in managing the health sector.
