Questions are being asked as to why President William Ruto has maintained studious silence as the ongoing medics strike gets more intense after clinical officers downed tools yesterday.

The strike has paralysed services in public health institutions across the country despite the President's chief of staff statement at a meeting 10 days ago that was expected to thaw the tensions between medics and the parent ministry.
