NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 21 – Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has given striking doctors a 12-hour ultimatum to resume work in an offer he said will end in the replacement of those who will ignore the directive.
Speaking at City Hall, Sakaja said the Nairobi County government had already commenced the process of absorbing intern doctors and as such, the doctors’ strike is unwarranted.
The governor said the absence of any doctor at their workstation upon expiry of the ultimatum will be considered absconding of duty.
Sakaja spoke after holding a meeting with the leadership of the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU).
