Doctors have inked the Collective Bargaining Agreement formalizing the pay and working conditions deal that ended their 100-day strike.
The deal, which was signed by the national government on June 30, will see the lowest paid medic (intern) earn Sh212,989 and the highest paid medic earn about Sh814,000.
Oluga apologised for the stalemate that began on December 5, 2015 and left several people dead.
Oluga further noted health has no political sides and that all they want is a system that serves all Kenyans.
The signing was presided over by Council of Governors chairman Josphat Nanok at CoG headquarters on Thursday.
Others who witnessed it were Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma, who heads CoG’s health committee, Vihiga’s Moses Akaranga and KMPDU chairman Samuel Oroko.
Oroko hailed the signing saying they criticise the government because they care for workers.
After three months of agony, street protests and a jail sentence, doctors agreed to return to work and were to get new allowances backdated to January 1, 2017.
KMPDU Secretary-General Ouma Oluga said that the union was ready to partner with stakeholders to improve the health sector.
He called on the National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich to provide funds to ensure full implementation of the agreement.
