Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Nandi Governor Stephen Sang has said counties were considering hiring new doctors to attend to patients in hospitals should the strike continue.<\/p>\n

Sang revealed that counties were blameless for the current stalemate within the Ministry of Health that has occasioned the downing of tools by doctors despite being their employees hence the need to arrest the situation.<\/p>\n

He said counties have set aside funds for the doctor\u2019s promotions and for the improvement of their working environment so they had no reason to strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoctors in county hospitals have decided to join the strike in solidarity with the others not because of us as counties, but our people don\u2019t deserve the suffering,\u201d Sanfg said.<\/p>\n

Sang spoke at St. Barnabas\u2019 pro-cathedral in Kapsabet during the installation and collation of three archdeacons presided over by ACK Bishop of Kapsabet Rt. Rev. Dr. Paul Korir.<\/p>\n

Governor Sang said doctors to be hired will take up the responsibilities of those currently on strike and will be considered for employment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue of intern doctors and CBA that was signed in 2017 was done under \u201cduress\u201d by the Jubilee administration since it\u2019s not practical, especially under the current status of the economy,\u201d Sang said.<\/p>\n

He appealed to doctors in counties to have a round table talk with their employers on their respective welfare.<\/p>\n

Sang also said the reduction of intern doctors’ allowances from Sh206,000 per month to Sh70,000 saying it will open more opportunities for others seeking internships in public hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cCounties are slow in allowing more intern doctors because of the huge salaries they demand but if Sh70,000 is accepted by KMPDU, more interns will be allowed into the facilities,\u201d Sang added.<\/p>\n

He asked KMPDU to loosen their demands and accept negotiation explaining that the amount they were demanding was not practical.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot compare what Kenya pays to her neighbouring countries…we\u2019re far much better,\u201d Sang said.<\/p>\n
