The Opposition leader said on Monday that the Jubilee government should not have allowed Labour court judge Hellen Wasilwa to jail the health workers. /REUTERSBut Raila said in a statement on Monday: "We are shocked by the jailing of doctors. "We have instructed our lawyers to immediately convene and take up the doctor’s case against the government."
