Doctors once again walked out of negotiation talks with the Labour ministry after the government was accused of using dictatorial means.
Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) Secretary General Ouma Oluga stated that 12 official including himself and the chairman were allegedly kicked out of the meeting for no reason.
“When the CS came in, she directed that both sides only choose five members and we did comply without refusal,” Oluga said.
He indicated that even after the union complied with a directive from the Labour Cabinet Secretary to reduce the negotiating team to five they were still belittled and ridiculed by the government team.
“Our team is still being ridiculed and even now I am being told that we have to write letters to show that this is the team and even I together with my chairman we are being told that we are not union officials and representatives of the doctors,” he said.
