It is that season yet again. Doctors in at least six counties have issued strike notices that in the next few days they will down tools. This could easily pass as an assertion any time of the year since it has become the norm.
The doctors in Vihiga County are already on strike. Their counterparts in Kajiado will begin theirs on Thursday, December 7 while those in Kilifi County promises to withdraw services any time next week. Services will also be withdrawn in Embu, Busia and Nakuru counties. The group in Kajiado says it is tired of delayed promotions partly due to nepotism, it is poorly equipped to handle patients, the few who work there say they need to recharge their batteries as they suffer burnout.
