  1. With staff shortage in public hospitals, the intern doctors run the hospitals. The government is not doing them a favour…They work for long hours and should be compensated for it.

  2. Kshs.70000 is actually alot of money for interns since they are not employed but on 'attachment'.
    COs on PnP make less than that yet they do the donkey work.
    These doctors should stop the entitlement and bravado.
    If they think the pay is less then they should resign voluntarily and allow other Kenyans of the same qualification apply for the vacancies.
    Doctors are important but it is also equally true for other professions in society.

  3. It's obvious that government has never had enough for it's extravagant needs, and it's the people that have had to endure and live without basics that should be supplied by government. Government offices and the occupiers of those offices have been turned into symbols of luxury and ostentatious life styles at the expense of development. I know this first hand, having served as a middle level civil servant for twenty something years since 1971. At the time I was employed a few years after independence, many government departments were still headed by officers carried over from the colonial civil service. They occupied timber and iron sheet offices with the barest of furniture manufactured by the prisons departments, and were driven in basic Land Rover trucks. Their government quarter homes were equally basic, mabati and timber houses and prison manufactured furniture. Compare that scenario with what is happening today and you will understand why the country is at stagnation sixty years after independence, whereas the colonial civil service was able build Kenya from scratch in only fourty years, 1922 – 1963, all of the towns, roads, hospitals, schools, name it!!

  4. Clown of a President….but he wants to appoint 51 UNCONDITIONAL CAS WHO EACH WILL EARN OVER 700K PER MONTH

    WHO WERE JUST POLITICAL FAILURES HE WAS REWARDING

    Yet medical interns who are more important to the society are been underpaid

  5. Auditor General Raises Alarm Over Inflated Govt Expenditure In Building 4 Stadia. Heh. Where are our priorities though? We are keen to grow an untenable workforce with CAS to add to our already bloated workforce yet critical sectors like healthcare and education are continuously neglected. Tuwache upuzi plis.

  6. I add by saying not bad to pay them 70k,but why is the government spending alot at the executive, when it comes to watu wa chini let us live within our means… they should stop taking us for a ride uongo hatutaki kamwe

  7. It is AZIMIO who are fooling the Doctors Intern to continue with the strike, earning Kshs.70,000/Month in 1yrs as an Intern then get employed, is that bad? google any country in Africa where a Doctor's Intern earns 70K per month, you will be shocked!
