Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentis Union secretary General Ouma Oluga has lauded a directive by President Uhuru Kenyatta to pay doctors.

Oluga has appealed to governors to adhere to the directive.

The Council of Governors had refused to pay medics for the 100-day period they strike lasted.

"This is a matter [that concerns] the national and county governments," he said, adding all parties involved should play their role.

Oluga called on doctors to serve Kenyans with dignity and and high morale while waiting for their pay.

"Doctors in Kenya and the public are advised to keep calm as services in all hospitals shall remain uninterrupted," he said.
