President Uhuru Kenyatta has agreed to increase doctors risk allowance in a bid to end the ongoing strike.
This is according to a report tabled in the Court of Appeal on Tuesday from the ongoing negotiation between the doctors and religious leaders.
The reports states that the allowances will be backdated to October 2016.
The Inter-religious Council of Kenya told Court of appeal judges Hannah Okwengu, Martha Koome and Kantai Ole Sankale on Tuesday that their two-day talks had seen an agreement reached.
Through lawyer Peter Gachohi, court heard that what is remaining is the signing of three key documents to fully settle the matter.
The judges directed that the case be mentioned on Monday for the purpose of having it on record that the dispute is settled.
The agreement follows a series of closed-door meetings over the weekend that ran until Monday evening, when the doctors’ union officials met with religious leaders.
