Embakasi East Mp Babu Owino has said that the government should be hold accountable for the death of the Kenyan doctor who died in Cuba.
Dr Hamisi Juma was working in CUBA under the exchange programme between Cuba and Kenya.
Owino said that he death of Dr Hamisi 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,”he said.
The MP said that Kenyan doctors are receiving a paltry allowance while Cuban doctors are being paid three times what their Kenyan equivalents are receiving.
“I therefore call upon President Kenyatta to terminate this failed experiment and restore dignity to Kenyan doctors and the Kenyan people,”He said.
He called on president Uhuru to restore back the sanity that Kenyans deserve adding that CUBA doctors should be deported back they offer no extra ordinary skills to Kenyans.
“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,”he said.
