The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union is facing accusations of political double-speak over its mixed assessment of President William Ruto's health record, with critics alleging inconsistency after the union moved from praising the president to threatening industrial action. According to the Eastleigh Voice, the union has defended its position while warning it will call doctors out on strike if the government fails to resolve the ongoing nurses' dispute within seven days.

Kenyan nurses and midwives plan to march to the Council of Governors headquarters as part of a nationwide strike. According to a union notice dated September 4, cited by the Eastleigh Voice, the union intends to mobilise about 9,400 nurses and midwives, with 200 representatives drawn from each of Kenya’s 47 counties, for the planned demonstration.

The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the national government to resolve the ongoing nurses' strike, warning that doctors will join the walkout if the standoff continues. According to KMPDU Secretary General Dr Davji Bhimji Atellah, the strike has disrupted essential health services nationwide and left public hospitals under severe strain, according to Khusoko.
