Doctors pay talks resume today, even as Health CS Cleopa Mailu explained that the only way their demands can be met is to exclude them from the civil service.

The CS said the doctors' demands contained in the contentious Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) are not in line with the terms of their civil service colleagues, hence the Salaries and Remuneration Commission cannot permit the implementation.
