Sobriety called for in stand-off with doctors

Needless to say, negotiations on an amicable settlement to the doctors' strike, now in its fourth month, have been sluggish. The resigned, sad face of Getrude Lusia, mother to Granious Waweru, a six-year-old boy living through the excruciating pain of cancer tells it all.

Daily, the little boy beseeches his mother to take him to a doctor and does not understand why she cannot. That is what many, unlucky to be sick, are going through. There is too much anguish, pain and hopelessness to live through another day of uncertainty.
