Dr. Angela Nambiro – Medical Officer Intern: Intern doctors face dangerous conditions, long hours, and no risk allowance, yet we get salary cuts while MPs and ministers enjoy raises. Mr. President, walk a 36-hour shift with us and see why we deserve better pay and treatment
#CitizenDayBreak @OBurrows
@DeboraBarasa you enjoyed the full medical internship package with all the allowances you can't afford to keep quiet when the government machinery is lynching the CBA that once fed you.#JusticeForMedics#PayMedicalInterns
Implementation of bargaining agreements reached between workers and their employers in good faith creates a ground of trust for better service delivery and overall production fostering growth and development of our country.

We need to sober up in terms of public expenditure and get our priorities right
The Doctors strike is an unfortunate situation in the Country.
We need to revisit the Health Commission.
Government has been paying the Intern Doctors, We can pay our Doctors, we should pay them.
#51kmaconf@NyikalDr KEY NOTE SPEECH EXTRACT AND ACTION POINT FROM @KenyaMedics_KMA 51st Annual Scientific Conference
"As a country we must FIX THE BROKEN SYSTEM.
I view the strike as part of fixing the broken system and adressing a gap. And for THIS PROFESSION WHEN THE INTERN DIES WE ARE ALL DEAD! WE MUST DIE WITH THE INTERN.
#OnTheInternWeStand
And where we have reached, my colleagues, we cannot leave this thing to the doctor in the public sector only. I'M ASKING MY COLLEAGUES IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, WHAT CONTRIBUTION ARE YOU MAKING. CAN IT REACH A POINT WHERE YOU ARE SAYING THAT IF YOU ARE DOING THAT TO OUR COLLEAGUES INTERNS, WE ARE ALSO STOPPING? CAN WE? Because there must be selflessness in this.
Let us join the negotiations in many ways.
You have MPs, all of you have MPs. We are only 345. Doctors are many. In your constituencies go to your MPs, let them understand what is happening and what the intern is.
IF NEED BE, EVEN IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR LET US PUT DOWN OUR TOOLS, because the people when negotiating, in the evening go to their doctors. And I'm sure they are smiling and asking, What are they doing? They are asking you, how are you going with them? THAT THEM IS YOU!
WHEN ONE DOCTOR IS DYING, YOU ARE DYING, WHETHER IN PUBLIC SECTOR OR PRIVATE SECTOR. YOU CANNOT SAY THAT THERE IS A DISTINCTION, SO HOW ARE THEY DOING?"
THOSE ARE OUR COLLEAGUES

False: Drs are demanding 206K for intern doctors.
True: Drs are protesting the sudden and unlawful REDUCTION of intern doctor salaries from 206K as per CBA to 70,000/- stipend.
Also True: Government has paid 206K in the years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Also very true: Number of Intern Doctors were higher in 2022 than they are in 2024.
Yesterday on @KTNNewsKE, I watched an agitated @HonMoses_Kuria spew lies that medical interns work for 2 hours then go to their private clinics. That is a blatant lie from a cornered man. What private clinics do interns have?
#MedicalInternsWork#DoctorsStrikeKE
Doctors in Kenya would be happy to know they're not the only ones who want Moses Kuria fired. Enough has been said about his mouth of diarrhoea, all that's remaining is for President William Ruto to do the Lord's work, and save the country from this long-running embarrassment.
So CS @Nakhumicha_S claims to have sorted 18.5/19 issues tabled by the union yet the unresolved issue is the most important. Let's be honest men. Medical Interns do work. Say no to modern day slavery.
#stopbullyingdoctors
@MosesKuriaCS ,the KK gvt is known to have a penchant for fake promises and bullying doctors. Slashing anyone's allowances even that of any CS by 91% warrants https://t.co/grWbgFwsyU interns should be paid proportionally to the work they do.
#StopBullyingDoctor#StopFakePromises
Dear Government.
Please make sure healthcare in Kenya works efficiently as soon as possible.
Otherwise we will learn other skills and fend for ourselves. We can't be offering our lifetime without proper compensation
This ain't a threat. We have financial responsibilities too
