The chief surgeon at the Wajir Referral Hospital was on Monday evening hit and killed by a speeding police vehicle.
Dr Zinaye Zeleke was knocked down in Wajir town after having dinner at Palace Hotel.
The 50-year-old had been working in Wajir since 2017.
The staff at the referral hospital on Tuesday demonstrated to the county commissioner's office from the accident scene.
Medics have vowed not to return to work until justice is served.
The hospital’s Covid-19 isolation unit and the mother and child clinic are some of the critical services affected.
“We are demanding justice for Dr Zinaye and the police officer should be arrested because he hit him and drove off,” Thomas Nyagaka, a welfare officer at Wajir Hospital, said.
“The health team has lost a great consultant. We are lost for words. It was his routine to take a stroll and later have dinner in one of the restaurants,” one of the residents said.
Hospital staff said they were saddened and until they get justice they will not offer any services.
Wajir East OCPD Kennedy Samani said that the accident happened at about 6.30 pm and the doctor died on the spot.
“We have so far identified the police vehicle and the driver. Investigations are at an advanced stage and appropriate action will be taken against the driver,” Samani said.
Zennaye's body lies at the Kenyatta Teaching and Referral Hospital awaiting transit to Ethiopia.
The deceased leaves behind his wife and two children.
