Hundreds of doctors from over two hundred medical facilities in Nakuru on Tuesday held a peaceful demonstration to protest alleged oppression by the national and county governments.
The protest brought traffic to a standstill as the medics walked from the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital, entered the Central Business District through Kenyatta Avenue and ended at the Nakuru County Government Headquarters where they addressed the media and submitted their grievances.
"In fact the issues in contest were agreed upon seven years ago and have only been waiting implementation by the government and counties," said the unionists who was also accompanied by medical students from Egerton University, Medical Interns and other health workers. Omondi said implementation of the 2017/2021 CBA, especially on the issue of basic salary should be hastened.
