Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to pay the striking medics and prevent more deaths.
Speaking in Baringo County during a fundraising, Moi said it was not in order for Jubilee administration to say it cannot afford to pay the health workers.
He said this cannot be the case yet billions of shillings were stolen from the National Youth Service and the Afya House scandal.
"The government must honour its part of the bargain and pay the health workers. The medics cannot be told there is no money when billions of shillings are being stolen every day, " said Moi.
Speaking at the same event, Kanu Secretary General Nick Salat said the government should stop misusing money meant for doctors and nurses.
"They have the power to pay the doctors and nurses. But this will be achieved only if they stop the rampant cases of corruption," he said.
Doctors and nurses across the country downed their tools on Monday and have vowed not to resume work until their demands are met.
The medics are demanding the government to honour a 2013 deal to increase salaries.
