The Council of Governors (CoG) has defended Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi, dismissing reports that 136 newborns have died in the county due to an ongoing doctors’ strike.
Speaking on Monday after his re-election as CoG chairperson, Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi described the reports as baseless and politically motivated, accusing the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) of attempting to malign Wamatangi’s leadership.
“The council dissociates itself from the headlines on the death of 136 babies and categorically states that it is not factual. It is pure witch-hunt against our Kiambu counterpart,” Abdullahi said.
