Kenyan doctors of the medics’ union jailed for failing to call off strike

Seven Kenyan doctors who are officials of the medics’ union have been jailed for failing to call off a two-month strike by doctors at public hospitals, reports the UK Independent Media. Judge Hellen Wasilwa said she could not delay further the contempt of court sentence she had suspended earlier on condition the doctors call off their strike. At least 5,000 doctors are on strike for better pay and to protest over the dilapidated state of Kenya’s public healthcare. "This court declines to review its order sentencing the applicants to one month jail terms ... you can now start serving your sentences, those are the orders of the court,” Judge Wasilwa said. The Kenyan Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentist’ Union said it has called off all communications with President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government until their officials are released. “There will be no negotiations as long as the union officials are in jail ... Jailing them is actually stalling the negotiations to end the strike. It is not a solution,” said Thuranira Kaugiria, a top union official. Doctors want the Kenyan government to implement pay rises agreed on in 2013. That agreement would raise their salaries by 180 per cent. The strike has caused a near-total paralysis in Kenya’s public health sector and many people are believed to have died from a lack of emergency services. More
