NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 4-The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has issued a 21-day strike notice to 17 county governments over failure to implement agreed salary adjustments for doctors, warning that services could be disrupted from November 25, 2026.
The union says doctors in the affected counties will down their tools if the outstanding salary adjustments are not reflected in their payslips within the notice period.
In a statement, KMPDU accused the 17 county governments of failing to honour commitments contained in a Return-to-Work Formula, a court order and a subsequent addendum, insisting that the salary adjustments are not new demands.
