The Senate Health Committee has slammed the government and Council of Governors (CoG), following threats to the striking doctors, that they would be sacked, and replaced by foreign doctors.
The Committee's chairman, Dr Wilfred Machage said the Committee can not allow Kenyan doctors be replaced.
He asked them, through the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU), not to buy CoG's threats, saying they could not be replaced.
According to him, if such doctors are hired, patients would die, since they do not understand how to handle Tropical diseases and drugs, which affects most Africans.
Doctors had been warned that if they do not end the strike.
"The government should stop threatening our doctors that they will be sacked and replaced by foreign doctors. Foreign doctors do not understand how to handle Tropical diseases and drugs. I once worked with them. They understand nothing about Tropical drugs. How can they be brought in to handle our patients? It's impossible,'' said the Migori County senator.
Machage asked CoG and the Ministry of Health to sit down with doctors' representatives and find solutions over the strike which kicked off December 5, 2016.
