The Council of Governors has slammed striking doctors for complicating negotiations with the government to end their nationwide strike. Led by their council Chairman Peter Munya, they have cited the hard line stance of doctors as the main barrier to achieving fruitful negotiations between the two warring parties.
He mentioned the insistence of their officials on the government to implement the agreed Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) has been detrimental to any efforts by the latter to work out a new deal that put the 72-day-strike to an end. The Meru County governor termed the doctors' demand for a 400% salary increase as unrealistic and preposterous.
