Fire us at your own risk, doctors say

KMPDU's Mwachi insists that there is 'no end in sight soon' on the ongoing industrial action, adding that the end will justify the means and that doctors are resolute that their employer must put pen to paper on their demands.

KMPDU Deputy Secretary-General Dr Dennis Miskellah is among those axed. The trained obstetrician and gynecologist has vowed to continue his agitation.

He on Thursday wrote; "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We shall never relent."

The doctor's union is expected to hold its weekly street demonstrations on Tuesday next week.

Medics practising in private hospitals will likely join the mass action as early as next week, worsening an already dire situation.

Earlier in the week, doctors rubbished the proposed national internship policy terming it illegal, ill-advised, and ill-timed.
