How hard is it to conclusively deal with 12000 doctors and the issues raised therein? innocent Kenyans are likely to die and yet the government with its incompetent leadership lack imagination,to even pay thinkers to think on their behalf.

perhaps it is because the doctors do not know how to put their case forward like you have (not) done in this post. what are the issues “raised therein”? your second line sounds like bitter partisan politicking rather than advocacy for better terms for our esteemed doctors…if i was your adversary i would leave you to rant on since you have no respect for your adversary…remember, strikes are won in the court of public opinion; as a citizen and taxpayer, i do not know what the doctors’ grievances are (the ones you call issues therein), i have only heard of a threat to strike on a date i cannot remember…communication, communication, communication…

If nothing is done soon, nearly all taxes government collects will be used for recurrent expenditure such as payment of salaries and servicing of loans. There is no way Kenya can grow rich by investing in salaries.
Now the problem is that we can see a lot of wastage and corruption of the same taxes that would have been used to pay Doctors. Then there is skewed wages in the public sector. An MP earns 1 million per month using the same taxes doctors are given 40k. In India, an MP earns 300k rupees while a doctor earns around 50k rupees. This seems to be fair and equitable to me.
In conclusion, economically I don’t support rise in public wages. But politically I support doctors. Since we stopped thinking economically when we engaged in wastage and corruption, politics carries the day. Let doctors get what they are asking for.

What case forwad. They just want more money nothing more nothing less. Not court battles . Dont say zero in a million words
That’s the real tragedy.
An MCA who scored a D in KCSE and didn’t proceed further than that is left to determine the salary of a person who scored straight A’s and proceeded to study for another 7 years. And to cap it all the MCA’s have awarded themselves hefty salaries and ridiculous allowances.

Maybe the health sector should not have devolved

don’t you guys get it? there’s a problem; yes. but you are not going to solve it by talking at those you are supposed to solve it with. i do not know/see where tribe is coming in here…
I believe even education and roads should be devolved. National government sitting in Nairobi calling all the shots is what is causing hizi mashida za marginalisation and negative ethnicity when it comes to elections.
Health sector just took one for the team because it was the first function to be devolved. Lessons learnt from hizi mashida zitasaidia when time comes to devolve the other functions.
