Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to send back Cuban doctors.
Owino noted on his official Facebook page on Friday that it won't be logic to treat Cuban doctors like 'Queens and Kings' while Kenyan doctors suffer slavery back in Cuba.
According to the youthful legislator, Cuban doctors are offering similar skills offered by their Kenyan counterparts.
He further claimed that Cuban doctors are paid three times what Kenyan doctors receives which to him is unjust.
"I, therefore, call upon President Kenyatta to terminate this failed experiment and restore dignity to Kenyan doctors and the Kenyan people. Let the Cubans go back to Cuba and let Kenyans serve Kenyans. There are enough institutions of higher learning in Kenya offering courses to train Kenyans - there is no need for them to go to Cuba when the same course is offered here," noted Owino on a Facebook post.
Reacting to reports that a Kenyan doctor Hamisi Ali Juma had allegedly committed suicide in Cuba, Babu Owino said; "His death has brought to light the deplorable conditions in which our Kenyan doctors are working whilst in a foreign country. It is unfortunate that our own people are complaining of starvation, inhumane living conditions, a four-hour daily commute and general neglect from their Government while that same Government is treating the Cuban doctors working here like Kings and Queens."
Dr Hamisi was in Cuba for an exchange program between the two counties that are aimed at improving the country's health system through training medical personnel.
