More than one month has gone by since the countrywide doctors' strike began. The underlying causes of the strike are many, but the doctors are aggrieved more by the Government’s failure to honour a Comprehensive Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between its representatives and the doctors' union signed in 2013.
Kenyan doctors claim their pay is not commensurate with the hard work and long hours that they put in. Consequently, they demanded a 300 percent pay rise which the Government acceded to through the 2013 CBA.
