The Employment and Labour Relations Court has issued conservatory orders stopping the Kiambu County Government from sacking specialist doctors who are members of the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) over their ongoing strike related to delayed salaries.
In a ruling delivered by Justice Hellen Wasilwa, the court directed that the doctors should not be dismissed or replaced until a petition filed by one of the doctors, Dr Gathoni Njeri Muriithi, is heard and determined.
