As the doctors' strike drags on, the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) is now blaming the Council of Governors for the collapse of talks called on Wednesday to resolve the deadlock.

Speaking via telephone to The Saturday Standard, KMPDU Deputy Secretary General Dennis Miskellah said the union is ready to engage but the government is dragging its feet.
