HUNDREDS of Kenyan doctors protested in the streets today to demand better pay and working conditions in an ongoing nationwide strike that has entered its second week.

The doctors carried placards and chanted against the Kenyan government, saying it had failed to implement a raft of promises, including a collective bargaining agreement signed in 2017 after a 100-day strike during which people died from lack of care.

Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union secretary-general Dr Davji Bhimji said that the strike will continue until all the demands are met.
