“We feel re-energised just like the strike has just started,” Dr Ng’ani added.

[quote=YesuWangu]I dont understand.

When the doctors go on strike who are they hurting? Is it the general public or the government?

Is it any different from what Al Shabab do? Hurting the public to get at the government?

Both get personal fulfillment after doing their thing. (maybe in getting more money for personal use or carrying out a belief).



If I was a doctor, a nurse or any of those professionals, I would not go on strike.

Many of the people in pain because of my (in)actions most likely earn and make do with less than I do.

Subsequently, to expand the membership of the union, another demand was raised, which was not part of the dispute. This is the issue of paying extraneous allowance to privately sponsored students.

When an assessment is done of those other Kenyans who are self sponsored, it is realised that most of them left before fulfilling the mandatory period of three years in Government service before seeking Government support for post-graduate work. How fair, just and equitable would it be to then give them stipend while their colleagues are still toiling, waiting their justifiable turn to go for post-graduate studies?

We are already going on with the rehabilitation of our facilities with funds at our disposal. This is a process and not an event. We welcome ideas on how we can do things better. But we cannot respond to instantaneous demands in a strike as if building a hospital is like making an instant cup of coffee.
