Sad state of affairs. In my humble opinion I think Kenyans ought to support the Doctors strike fully. These are the same people we entrust with our lives. Some arguments coming off the woodwork from the likes off Bwenyeye are really unfortunate if not pompous! Why are some Kenyans in the habit of downplaying other peoples rights? It is about time doctors got a fair remuneration. In my opinion ,all hospitals should be run with a mix of administrators and medical professionals. The working hours for doctors should be reviewed and more Kenyans encouraged to get into the medical field.
Its funny that someone points out that the same doctors have opened Chemists that are selling drugs, did you expect people who have peanuts for a salary to open hardware stores to supplement their income which is everybody's right? SMHPray Sad

To add on, the same government through the national assembly is acquiring chairs worth 200k per piece. Now in my rudimentary calculation, The total cost of chairs will be around Kshs 70 mil (350 seats x 200,000)not including the senate (68 seats)that will also order the same chairs come next year.
While all this is going on, a quick search into the internet shows that a basic dialysis machine may be going for around USD 6,000 or lower depending on the manufacturer etc.. Now the Kshs 70mil would be able to buy approx 137 BASIC dialysis machines.Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you Sad Sad Sad Pray Pray

Who to blame? Docs or gava? I think gava should take responsibility for every death. I feel the docs are at war for the sake of the country, esp hospital eqpt n staffing. Fight on guys, this govt knows no other language.

The flip-flopping by Docs is not good for them. They will lose the goodwill they already have with the rest of Kenyans. Looking at them try and argue their point on why they are re-calling the strike made them look more like politicians.

Actually if you run a business your best customer is the one who tells you that you stink. Most of them just move.

The world is a global village and people are human beings. Everyone wants a good (or at least bearable) life for themselves and their families.

The good Doctors like Kamundu are the ones on strike. The others left a long time ago. I hope we realise that these guys are not korogewad in those hospitals.

Whether the strike is over or not. Alot needs to be done.

...and since they had called off the strike, the new strike is illegal as they did not give sufficient notice, ask one UK!!!

I only hope this strike helps us see doctors employed in the public sector show up on time at work, work all their hours and leave when they should. And thus earn their pay...

That is all i ask.
....above all, to stand.

The strike has officially been called off after voting was done by members of KMPDU at a Special Delegates Conference at Ufungamano this afternoon. Doctors are the laughing stock of all Kenyans at the moment. Liar
