  1. If the Kenyan Authorities believe or imagine that they are going to solve this crisis by mass sackings and replacement by foreign medical teams then they are dreaming…. for a brief moment imagine a mass departure/exodus or stumpide from the Country of this core professionals ( upon whom the Nation has invested time and money to train)to alternative overseas locations where there is definate and reasonable demand for their professional expertise and services and the bonus of better remuneration!!! It is regrettable that what we have passing off for political leadership at both the National and Regional levels is but one big joke through which none of the numerous pressing problems facing the country will ever be solved!!

  2. Where is the money for hospitals and doctors and nurses, the government should explain where the money is. Some of the people in government, they go abroad or on private hospitals for there treatments, Mwanainchi anawachuwa akisinzia

  3. Kumbuka the medic interns wote ni makurutu bado hawajaiva
    Sasa ni waulize wanavuta waganga kazi who will go in op
    Makurutu mtu unamwambia akaoparate akili anaenda kuoperate mkundu kweli
    Haki maisha ya binadamu inchini kenya hayana maana yeyote
    Ndikio hata hawa mabwanyenye wote hawatibiwi inchini kenya
    Uwongo mbaya
    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  4. The moment a whole secretary general of a national trade union goes into bed with an oppressive childish government hakuna trade union hapo tena
    Huo ni ujinga mtupu utakuwa inaendelea
    Pure compromise on peoples livelyhoods
    Kubaf mafi ya kuku
    Bure kabisa
    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5. How did the doctors entered into an agreement with the national government in the first place while their bosses are the county governments
    Sema kuchanganyikiwa
    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  6. The impasse, indeed, would be easy to resolve. The problem is that the leadership both at national and county levels, is made of men who have long manifested a cattle-rustling mentality. That means, among other things, they seek to possess all and everything including their neighbour's.

    A forceful removal of a regime isn't difficult to foresee.

  7. The utilization of the term "stipend" to describe the compensation for medical interns is erroneous and misplaced. It undermines the professional status of these individuals who, upon completion of their internships, should seamlessly transition into the civil service at a designated job group commensurate with their qualifications and experience.

    It is my firm conviction that the management of healthcare services should not have been devolved to county governments. The empirical evidence indicates a glaring inadequacy on the part of county authorities to assume full responsibility for the administration and oversight of healthcare delivery. This lamentable state of affairs underscores the imperative for a reevaluation of the devolution model as it pertains to the healthcare sector.

  8. In the crucible of escalating labor disputes within the healthcare sector, recourse to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) emerges as a salient mechanism to ameliorate the impasse, inclusive of potential strikes by medical specialists. The exigency for judicious deliberation is manifest, necessitating sobriety from all stakeholders embroiled in the tumult.

    A confluence of sagacity and astuteness is indispensable, with a clarion call for the involvement of pertinent governmental entities, notably the Ministry responsible for Labor and the Ministry responsible for Health. Central to the resolution process is the appointment of an impartial arbiter endowed with the requisite expertise and authority to adjudicate with equanimity.

    In this tempestuous milieu, where divergent interests converge, the edifice of ADR offers a beacon of hope, steering the discourse towards conciliation and equipoise. The panacea lies not in adversarial confrontation, but in the cultivation of a milieu conducive to dialogue, compromise, and mutual understanding.

    Let the clarion call for sobriety resonate, as we embark upon the path of reconciliation and resolution, underpinned by the tenets of ADR and the stewardship of sagacious arbiters. May this tumultuous chapter yield to the harmonious symphony of accord, ensuring the sanctity of healthcare delivery and the welfare of all stakeholders therein.

  9. The specter of Doctors' Strikes does not exist in isolation; rather, it permeates the entire healthcare sector. Without reservation, I assert that this issue transcends mere sporadic occurrences and encompasses systemic deficiencies ingrained within the healthcare apparatus. It behooves us to acknowledge that remuneration disparities, a core grievance underlying these strikes, are endemic to the sector.

    Indeed, within the intricate fabric of the healthcare sector, remuneration frameworks adhere to a hierarchical paradigm governed by a structured classification system denoted by Job Groups. Health professional Graduates are typically slated to initiate their professional odyssey at specific Job Groups as prescribed within the Scheme of Service, while Diploma holders are designated to their respective Job Groups as delineated in this framework.

    The Scheme of Service constitutes a pivotal regulatory instrument that articulates the foundational principles, guidelines, and parameters governing the employment terms and career progression trajectories within the healthcare domain. This comprehensive document outlines the requisite qualifications, job descriptions, entry points, and progression pathways for healthcare professionals, delineating the hierarchical structure of Job Groups and the corresponding roles and responsibilities associated with each tier.

    Essentially, the Scheme of Service serves as a lodestar guiding the allocation of human resources, fiscal appropriations, and staff establishment within the healthcare sector. It provides a blueprint for the systematic organization and management of human capital, ensuring coherence, consistency, and equity in remuneration structures and career advancement opportunities. Moreover, the Scheme of Service embodies the overarching ethos of meritocracy, wherein advancement within the hierarchical framework is predicated upon demonstrated competence, experience, and qualifications, in consonance with the prevailing fiscal allocations and staffing needs.

    In summation, the Scheme of Service epitomizes a codified framework that encapsulates the structural underpinnings of the healthcare sector, delineating the parameters governing employment terms, career progression, and remuneration structures for healthcare professionals. It serves as a cornerstone for fostering transparency, accountability, and efficiency within the healthcare workforce, thereby safeguarding the integrity and efficacy of healthcare delivery systems.

    Historically, the absorption and enrollment of Doctors Interns into the payroll have been distinctive, setting them apart from their counterparts in other disciplines. Additionally, an array of allowances has been customarily extended to healthcare professionals, including but not limited to, Extraneous, Risk, Commuter, and Responsibility allowances, alongside Leave allowances. Remarkably, these ancillary allowances cumulatively surpass the Basic salary by a factor of fivefold. It is pertinent to note that the rationale behind the provision of these allowances is to circumvent pension complexities, as they do not factor into pension calculations.

    In my considered opinion, the perpetuation of these allowances offers a viable panacea to ameliorate the prevailing discontent and obviate the exigency for protracted Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs). By preserving these allowances, we not only address immediate remuneration grievances but also mitigate the need for protracted negotiations that often result in prolonged labor disputes.

  10. This is a very useless government…we did not here of wage bill problems when Ruto was busy trying to give his cronies CAS positions..we did not here of these from these SRC woman when she was busy giving the president and MPs pay rises….how comes this now happens when doctors are asking for what is constitutionally their right…

  11. as long the people in power don't go to public hospital, the government will continue taking the hard stand together with the governors, the mwananchi will continue to suffer. That is the sad reality of our country the government simply doesn't care about its people, only God will help us.

  12. I'm with the doctors. The government has money. Scandals are happening nearly every week. Buying curtains for state house for tens of millions and renovating state house after only 2/3 years is just a start. Yes we should live within our means starting with him. Belts and watches etc that cost millions by him and his cronies. Sacking people while they are on strike is unacceptable even in the west. That is bullying and manipulation. In the southern hemisphere companies have found themselves in court for the same and paid out hundreds of thousands. Doctors go above and beyond for people. This man and his cronies are stealing from us. Lawyers in Kenya need to do pro bono work for the sacked doctors and tske these guys court. The doctors some years ago came into an agreement and went back to work. What was agreed on was never done. How does he expect them to take his word this time when all the country is getting is lies.
