Nairobi doctors, on Wednesday 21st, went on streets demonstrating over delayed salaries that are reportedly accumulated for 6 months.
The nearly 250 doctors, who are members of the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union, held the demonstration from Afya House to City Hall.
While protesting over delayed salaries and promotions and the county government’s alleged failure to remit statutory deductions such as NHIF and NSSF fees in the last eight months, they also claimed the county had not given them official appointment letters.
Their other grievances are that the county did not provide car and mortgage allowances and failed to give doctors appointment letters.
On Monday, Nairobi County Secretary Robert Ayisi ordered the doctors to resume work, saying the strike is illegal.
Mr Ayisi cited a September 16 order by the Employment and Labour Relations Court that nullified the industrial action until September 29.
