Cord leader Raila Odinga has called for a commission to address health workers' concerns amid a strike that saw doctors jailed. Cord leaders joined doctors who retreated to the park after the order by judges Wanjiru Karanja, Hannah Okwengu and Jamilla Mohamed. The judges issued the order for the doctors' union officials to be released after an appeal by Raila's lawyers, led by Siaya Senator James Orengo. Health CS Cleopa Mailu and his PS Nicholas Muraguri told the Senate Health committee that they will ensure the strike ends.
