The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) through its National Secretary General Ouma Oluga has accused Bomet governor Isaac Rutto of assaulting the union's officials.
Speaking on Wednesday in Bomet shortly after holding a meeting with medical practitioners in the county, Oluga accused governor Rutto of resorting to intimidation by storming into their meeting in a company of 30 youths, who later sparked a scuffle between the two groups.
"The governor has resorted to violence on his own doctors after his media propaganda fell flat on the public. Intimidation will not implement the CBA," Oluga said.
However, in a quick rejoinder, governor Rutto refuted Oluga's claims, saying he does not own a firearm as alleged by the medical union officials.
"I don't own a gun and if those officials claim that I have one, let them produce the records. I have never applied for a firearm," he said.
