The Deputy President William Ruto on Friday issued tough instructions to the Majority Leader in the National Assembly, Aden Duale, on KNH saga that stirred conflicts between a section of Members of Parliament (MPs) and Health Cabinet Secretary (CS) Sicily Kariuki.
DP Ruto ordered the Garissa Township legislator to organize a meeting between the Health CS and the MPs, who want to impeach her following her decision to suspend KNH Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Lilian Koros.
The meeting, which will be chaired by Mr Duale, is set to iron out the difference between the duo over the saga which arose a week ago after a surgery mix-up.
The MPs, mainly from North Rift, signed a bill seeking to impeach the Health CS, whom they claimed had no right to send Koros home over the blunder that saw the operation.

At least 150 MPs are said to have thrown their weight behind the impeachment motion by appending their signatures.
"There is no way you can target a CEO for a mistake that happened in the theatre.
"What happened in the theatre falls in the realm of professional misconduct, It should have been investigated by the doctors' professional body," Aldai MP Cornelly Serem stated.
Earlier today, the DP had waded in the matter, expressing concern that the impeachment bid could split the Jubilee Party under the leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
A report by the Nation claimed that the DP had asked the lawmakers to go easy on CS Kariuki as he looked for a solution that would not sabotage the unity of the ruling party.
