Hundreds of members of the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists’ Union (KMPDU)
marched the streets of Nairobi demanding government fulfill a 2013
agreement between their union and the government that would raise their
pay and improve working conditions.

Samuel Oroko, the union’s national chairman, said they had given the government enough time to honour the deal.
“We must be listened to… We have had lots and lots of diplomacy, and lots and lots of dialogue. Dialogue has to come to an end,” he said to cheers of doctors present at a news conference before the march.
“And the action is that doctors in Kenya will remain in strike until the CBA (agreement) is implemented,” he said.
