Kisii governor James Ongwae has termed the jailing of Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU)officials unfortunate.
Ongwae, while addressing the media on Monday, said the doctors had shown good will during the mediation week to end the strike.
“The mediation committee was headed towards finding a solution to the health crisis in the country and the KMPDU officials were dedicated towards ending the strike,” Said Ongwae.
However, he reiterated that the jailing of the doctors will not stop the mediation since they will engage doctors to form another mediation committee.
The doctors have been on strike since December last year demanding the implementation of the 2013 CBA.
