| Negotiations between the government and striking doctors have collapsed, further prolonging the suffering of Kenyans seeking healthcare in public hospitals. | |
| The strike by the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) is entering its second month over pay disputes and the failure to hire trainee doctors. | |
| The KMPDU officials failed to turn up for a crucial meeting on Tuesday, called by head of public service Felix Koskei following days of negotiations. | |
| After a cabinet meeting chaired by President William Ruto, the government said that the doctors' grievances had been addressed, except for the disagreement on intern doctors' salaries. | |
| The government termed demand to pay intern doctors $1,500 (£1200) "unsustainable". It insisted that it can pay only $520 monthly to intern doctors as stipend. | |
| The doctors' union rejected the proposed return-to-work offer, saying the contentious issue of internship compensation was non-negotiable. | |
| Mr Koskei accused the doctors of flouting court orders and backtracking on agreements reached during the meetings. | |
| The striking doctors also want the Kenyan government to fully cater for their medical insurance cover, honour agreements on promotions, and improve their working conditions. | |
