Union warns doctors will strike in Nakuru, Kajiado and Laikipia
Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) Secretary-General Davji Atellah during a press conference in Nairobi on April 26, 2025.
The dispute stems from commitments made after the 56-day doctors’ strike in early 2024.
Harmonization of terms of service for doctors was also agreed upon but no timelines were given.
Medics in Nakuru, Kajiado and Laikipia have threatened to strike if the counties fail to implement a return-to-work deal signed in May 2024.
According to Dr Davji Atellah, the secretary general of the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), the three counties had failed to fully honour the deal to end a strike last year and the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
