The Kenya Medical Association has revoked the membership of Health CS Cleopa Mailu and PS Nicholas Muraguri.
The association said the two have committed crimes of omission and commission amid the doctors' strike which entered its 73rd day on Tuesday.
"KMA hereby revokes the membership of the two for one year," the association said in a statement.
It further asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to fire the two for failing to contain the doctors strike
"We demand that the President immediately sacks the CS and PS who we consider to be collectively responsible for this crisis," read the statement.
KMA said
negotiations cannot take place while doctors are in jail and said it was ready to be enjoined in mediation talks.
"This is to offer technical support and ensure a resolution to this crisis," read the statement signed by 15 representatives.
The association
asked other health workers' associations to support efforts for a comprehensive solution to the crisis.
"All our members in health facilities and institutions shall not be
offering
any services for 48 hours effective midnight today," it said.
KMA said further instructions will be issued should the doctors still be in jail at the expiry of this period.
The representatives asked health workers to
converge at the court of appeal in solidarity with their colleagues.
Striking doctors in Mombasa earlier said they will escalate the strike and ask those in the private sector to join them.
KMPDU Coast branch secretary general Abi Mwachi
added that a team had already been identified to rally the public to support their course.
