Addressing a press conference Parliament Buildings on Wednesday, the leaders condemned Uhuru and DP for the "political engagements at the expense of most urgent matters".

They noted that that Uhuru has "abandoned the country" while on the political tours.

The "studious silence on the the ravaging public health care crisis" of the two leaders on the doctors and nurses strike which started on Monday has stoked criticism from various quarters.

MPs Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja), Florence Mutua (Busia), Fred Outa (Nyando), Zuleka Hassan (Nominated) blamed the strike on the national government which they said has clung to billions of shillings meant for devolved functions.

The President is currently in Ukambani region and is expected to head to Kericho and Nyamira counties later on to launch various projects.
