The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has threatened to go on strike over the government's alleged failure to fulfil agreements in a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) covering 2017-2021 period.

KMPDU Secretary-General Dr Davji Bhimji Atellah said that the stakeholders involved in the signing of the agreement had failed to implement issues that they had raised.
