Healthcare professionals accuse govt of favouring doctors in talks

Healthcare professionals have now demanded all inclusive talks with health workers countrywide.

While addressing the press in Nairobi on Friday, December 9, the 17 cadres of healthcare professionals accused the government of favouring doctors and nurses in strike negotiations.

“We are not second class citizens, we are all equal and we should be treated equally,” said the healthcare professionals.

The healthcare professionals have demanded that the government address what they termed as chronic salary discrepancies alongside promotions adding that they have raised these issues on various forums unsuccessfully.

“There is an urgent and immediate need to come up with all inclusive talks with health workers.”

While apologizing to Kenyans for their suffering, the workers have faulted the government of impartiality in the ongoing negotiations.

“We are not happy that people are dying and we are now appealing to the President to intervene.”

“Let the government engage in serious talks with health workers. The government must come out quickly to resolve this.”
