Nairobi Governor Orders Probe Into Weston Cholera Outbreak

Doctors who attended a health conference at the hotel, mostly those employed by the government, are accusing Ministry of Health officials of trying to play down the outbreak instead of moving fast to contain it. Director of Medical Services Jack Kioko and Bernard Muia, Nairobi's county executive committee member for health, are hesitant to label the cases as cholera and have denied that there was an outbreak at the hotel.
