I agree doctors' grievances are legitimate. However, when it comes to legal issues, they should have involved a lawyer, or good lawyers, to over-see the signing of the CBA.
The CBA as currently crafted will never see the light of day - it is not legally binding, it not a legal document. In simple English - Doctors were conned! From a strictly legal perspective the CBA is just a piece of paper - kama tissue hivi.
Unfortunately, this is happening at the expense of people's lives. Both sides should swallow some pride, if not all of it and agree on something. They should also rope in governors.

If the report by Daily Nation today is true then Kenyan Doctors or their officials are the real Doctors From Hell.

I raised the issue earlier but a couple of well meaning but misguided Wazuans almost ran me out of town. They presented a rosy picture complete with hollywood style computer-generated imagery of how all our health problems will be solved if the doctors get their CBA implemented all the while downplaying and flat out denying the issue of higher pay the doctors were demanding. They insisted I do not have to read any document except what they were peddling that the government has refused to do what it promised to do. It is true doctors have a valid reason to ask for better terms, but a certain clique of few but evil doctors are behind this protracted battle in which the many conscientious doctors have been unwittingly drawn in, doctors whose ambition does not include living in opulence.
