Council of Governors Chairman, Peter Munya, has now thrown the buck back to President Uhuru Kenyatta saying the Governors are willing to comply with his directive if the funds are availed.
Speaking to Citizen TV on phone, Munya said that the stand of governors on withholding doctors’ salaries for the duration they wereon strike will remain in force up until they receive funds to implement the President’s directive.
“Let the President then see to it that the national government releases funds to pay the salaries,” said Munya.
This comes just a day after the governor insisted that CoG would only pay doctors for days worked.
Speaking during an investments conference in Meru County on Wednesday, April 5, Munya, however, indicated that it would take the Council of Governors to meet and rescind the decision on releasing salaries and without which their stand holds.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, while on a tour of Kiambu on Wednesday, April 5, 2017, said that the medics who were on strike from December 5, 2016 to early March this year, be paid their full salaries for that period.
