The protest highlighted growing frustration among medical staff over rising insecurity and what they described as failure by police to protect frontline workers.
The medics marched into the police station chanting and carrying messages calling for accountability.
Their presence briefly disrupted normal operations at the station as officers engaged them in discussions.
Many of the protesters said they were not only mourning the loss of their colleague but were also speaking out for their own safety, which they say has been ignored for too long.
Richard Rotich, who worked at MTRH, was killed under circumstances that have raised serious concerns among hospital staff.
His death has caused fear and anxiety, especially among health workers who often work late hours and travel through unsafe areas.
According to the protesters, Rotich’s killing is part of a worrying trend of attacks on innocent citizens, including doctors, nurses, and other essential workers.
While addressing police officers, representatives of the medics expressed anger over what they called weak security measures in Uasin Gishu County.
They said that in the past month alone, criminal activities have increased sharply, with organised gangs and armed individuals operating freely.
These crimes, they noted, have led to deaths, serious injuries, and fear that is affecting work morale at the hospital.
“Over the past month, we have seen a sharp rise in criminal activities carried out by organised groups and individuals.
This has caused loss of lives, serious injuries, and widespread fear among our staff.
Our members are suffering, and their morale has been badly affected,” said one hospital staff leader.
The doctors questioned how criminals are able to move around with illegal firearms while law-abiding citizens remain exposed and unprotected.
They also raised serious concerns over claims that police officers sometimes fail to respond to distress calls made by health workers facing danger.
One particularly troubling issue raised during the protest involved an alleged refusal by police to provide security escort.
According to the medics, officers were asked to accompany a health worker to their home after threats were reported, but the request was declined.
“Our biggest concern is that when our colleague felt unsafe and asked for police protection, the officers refused. This was a clear failure to provide necessary and rightful protection,” one official told police.
