This thing is becoming a circus

Try observing.

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.

Very swamped today but I can't let this lie pass.

Anti_Burglar don't pretend you are neutral in this story.

That is like pretending that Nation is neutral in the story..


That piece was an absolute hack job from a company that is owned by a competitor who would not want those doctors leaving his company.

When you want to read an media hack job, this is what they write....

1. Dr Mailu, the soft-spoken geneticist
2. at the centre of all the hubris
3. the negotiators’ inflexibility (i assume its the doctors since Mailu is softspoken)

And the worst piece of this hackathon

"Daily Nation is today exposing the insincerity, backtracking and outright arm-twisting"

Somehow they are now the guiding light of our nation...This paper is slowly loosing it's credibility.

This newspaper is lying without shame to its readers.




The KMPDU cannot register any agreement. Only the gov't can do that.

This other quote



Only the Executive has said it is illegal. The Legislature has not debated this matter. And the Judiciary in a ruling basically said the gov't was not doing what it should have done.

So why is Nation lying?

Write a neutral story not one filled with emotional undertones of a perfect gov't and a conniving doctor.

I don't know why Nation just wrote an article totally blaming one side for all the death in hospitals...Then coat it with emotion and an outright lie..

But you journalists on wazua can advise if this is common practice.

I have just come across a post/discussion on fb about the Daily Nation article. It was a lie. The purported document was not authored by doctors. The medics are still holding to the 2013 CBA.

Aga Khan owns the Nation and the Aga Khan University Hospital, a private medical facility which would lose if Public Healthcare was working.

According to the explanation by the medic, the strike could have been resolved long time ago but the big private facilities have fought every solution that seems to improve public health-care.

They know that if public hospitals are well equipped they could lose lots of business. Again they know if the government raises doctors' salaries and allowances, many of them would opt to work for the government where there is some sort of job security.

Heh! This propganda by Daily Nation is at another level. Wah!
