The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists’ Union (KMPDU) on Wednesday condemned the dismissal of 86 doctors in Mombasa County over what County Executive Jeizen Faruk had termed as gross misconduct.
Through a statement, KMPDU argued that all the 250 doctors in Mombasa have been on strike since December 2 for non-implementation of the CBA 2017-2021 and failure to honour the return-to-work formula signed on October 2, 2020 between KMPDU Coast Branch and the county regarding promotions, career progression, failure to remit statutory and third-party deductions and persistent salary delays.
“The strike action was a last resort after the Union followed all the laid down procedures as per the labour laws and the constitution in an attempt to resolve issues affecting its members.
