A 30-day strike warning has been issued by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) in response to what they claim is the government’s inability to uphold their collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
Dr. Davji Atellah, Secretary General of the KMPDU, stated that in 2017, they signed a CBA with the county and national governments, which has since been overlooked.
In contrast, contrary to what was agreed upon in the CBA, the government has not promoted physicians, hired additional physicians, or provided medical equipment needed by physicians.
