As the crisis in the public health sector deepens, the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has accused the government of insincerity and refusing to come to the negotiation table to hammer out a compromise.

Speaking on Friday evening at the union's headquarters in Nairobi, Secretary General Davji Atellah said contrary to what is being reported, the union has not defied a court order that suspended the strike.
