Kenyan doctors working in public hospitals have rejected a government offer aimed at ending a weeks-long BBC News, Harare
strike that has hampered health services. About 3 million people are facing hunger as the drought wipes out crops across the country.
The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists
Union (KMPDU) went on
strike on 14 March over the non-payment of salary arrears, delays by the government to deploy medical interns and other grievances.
Late on Tuesday, the government asked the doctors to end their strike, saying the salary arrears have
been paid and that trainee doctors would be hired from Thursday
this week.
"We decline these proposals in total," KMPDU chairman Abidan Mwachi responded on social media platform X.
He said the government's offer does not "honour" a collective bargaining agreement that was signed in 2017, when a separate doctors' strike lasted for three months.
