Over 200 doctors in Nairobi County will not receive their
December salaries for participating in an illegal nationwide strike, Governor Evans
Kidero said on Tuesday.
The county’s 200 doctors downed their tools demanding a 300
per cent salary increment signed in a 2013 CBA.
If implemented, the lowest paid doctor will take home
Sh342,000 while the highest will enjoy Sh940,000. Currently, the lowest a
doctor earns is Sh40,000 and the highest Sh500,000.
Speaking on phone the Governor said that only 54 doctors did
not participate in the strike.
However, he said that health services in the county had not
been paralysed with over 80 per cent of services being offered to patients
following a return-to-work deal signed with nurses.
Speaking to the press on Tuesday, the county Secretary
Robert Ayisi said that the doctors had no reason to go on strike as the
Collective Bargain Agreement was not in the grievances they raised in October
strike.
