Addressing a Media briefing at the doctors Union offices in Nairobi the secretary General of the doctors Union KMPDU Dr Davji Atella cited lack of goodwill from the government to engage the doctors following airing of their grievances which include signing of of new CBA, failure to provide medical cover to union members,delayed posting of medical interns, salary delays and failure to provide house allowance as key reasons for the strike.
The doctors have vowed to paralyse all services in hospitals across the country untill their issues are addressed fully while blaming the cabinet secretary for health Susan Nakumicha for turning a deaf ear to them.
Untill the rogue police officer who deliberately shot and injured the Secretary General in a previous peaceful demonstration is arrested the strike will go on and no member of police service will be treated.The Union has also demanded a refund of the housing levy declared unconstitutional by the court before calling off the strike.
