DP Kindiki strikes deal with doctors

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki on Thursday struck a deal with doctors.

The deal was reached in a meeting at the DP’s official residence.

“The government takes our health workers seriously and respects their profession,” Kindiki said.

He added that the state was still open to further engagements with the concerned stakeholders to iron out sticking issues.

“We will endeavour to engage proactively and in good faith at all times,” the Deputy President said.

He announced that doctors would get the monies reflected in their accounts soon.

“From Saturday, all our intern doctors will receive their payslips and funds will subsequently reflect in their accounts,” Kindiki said.

According to the 2017 collective bargaining agreement, intern doctors would be entitled to a pay of Sh207,000.
