Medical Officer interns should be deployed within 3 months of completing Medical School.
Their salaries should be paid in accordance with standard/international labor laws, without previously experienced delays.

Wakili, tribal boundaries are becoming very blurry with the prevailing economic hardship. It is no longer a preserve of any tribe to hold the government accountable, but the responsibility of all citizens.
Financial mismanagement knows no tribe. The stomach of a kalenjine rambles the same way that of a Somali when it has not eaten.
Ruto’s oppressive taxes are uniting kenyans and creating two societies: the minority who steal the taxes kenyans pay and the majority overtaxed so there can be money to be stolen by the minority thieves.
Today’s demonstrations were very successful.
Medical interns have done their part and the opportunities to learn and progress their careers which is mandatory has been delayed and this leads to frustrations...
Implementation of the 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement was abandoned and ignored, Doctors are trained and dumped, Establishment of the health service commission as promised by government, these are just but some issues that KMPDU demands for the government to address.
Clear evidence on the need for a health service commission.
Kenya has a systemic crisis in doctors training and devt.
@KenyaMedics_KMA gave insights during the writing of this paper. Health workforce planning is urgently needed. @JKARAMANA @LukoyeAtwoli @mdjkitulu@simonkigondu
The delay in posting and payment of MO interns at the start of the program
is a systemic failure that seriously affects quality of training of medical doctors that needs to
be addressed by the @MOH_Kenya which carries the mandate for training
healthcare workers in Kenya.
High quality and accessible health services
cannot be delivered without sufficient
numbers of well-skilled, well-distribute & well-managed health workers. The sector needs effective coordination mechanism to ensure that all cadres work in concert for the benefit of the patient.
Utter ignorance displayed by @susanwafula_cs it's important to get factual figures especially about numbers in a critical ministry like @MOH_Kenya she clearly doesn't understand the work of interns and how poorly they still are underpaid in relation to the workload @kmpdu
Healthcare personnels play a key role at ensuring that every Kenyan has access to quality health care services. Over the years, the ministry of health has ensured that the healthcare workforce is understuffed and unmotivated.
In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue. It’s not good to not know what you’re talking about. It is important to be real and speak with fact as a person entrusted with public office. Medical interns need to be posted urgently. 55% of graduate doctors are unemployed.
it's a MOCKERY that none of our senior/employed doctors cares or understand the plight of interns idling at home or unemployed underpaid doctors, we need new association/unions led by the very young doctors #postmedicalinterns@MOH_Kenya@KenyaMedics_KMA@kmpdu@MSAKE_Kenya
This year 2022 has started a very heartbreaking precedent in the medical training, it took least 6 months of social media campaigns for MOIs to be posted by MOH in April.
Today the trend appears to be delayed oathing with the uncertainty of posting from MOH

1. About 600 medical interns have not been posted yet. Some completed their studies in December 2021, while others in August 2022. All remain out there, with the ministry of health loudly silent on this matter. #PostMedicalinterns@susan_mochache@DrPatrickAmoth@RobertAlai
