Today in history…

Dr. Ouma Oluga, OGW I was involved in the PwC job evaluation commissioned by SRC. Doctors were actually in E band. They downgraded it to D.

The Patterson job evaluation system was even inadequate to assess the kind of skill that needed assessment for doctors. We really pushed them!

The SRC of Sarah Serem was insensitive, adamant and ruthless to workers. But we can’t accuse them of incompetence.

They had a methodology to their results, however expensive (900M) their process and unpalatable those results were. [Drs qualified to start in Band D as per the…

Historical Account of Kenyan Doctors’ CBA

14th December 2011: President Kibaki directs Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, Public Service Minister Hon. Dalmas Otieno and Medical Services Minister. Prof. Ny’ongo to engage drs, end strike that began…

Engineers,

When can we have cars which automatically activate floaters when in water to help with floods and water accidents?

You made airbags, so chezeni kama nyinyi.

Having been at NMS and proving (to myself) that public sector can and must work, let me say this:

1. First, public interest or what we call ‘the good of the public’ and people development must be supreme to development of things/materials.

2. Second, discipline must be the DNA…

Mkuki kwa nguruwe….

We Kenyans have to accept that what we have is a philosophical problem. Not values but philosophy. We are tolerating a system designed to abuse and violate the human dignity of Kenyans because we have accepted that the material matters more than human beings.

The Employment Court has in more than 3 orders determined that the CBA be implemented as is and in-toto including a recent order that Interns be posted with status quo terms and conditions.

Lakini mwenye nguvu anataka apishwe!

The whole reason for the strike.

A little Shocker here.

You’ve probably heard 206K a bit too much because the government kept drumming the figure in an attempt to ‘make doctors look greedy’.

The shocker is that only 112 doctor interns have been earning 206K for the past 7 years being gross pay.

Here is why:…

What he says is that even to agree to a four year CBA cycle is already such a huge compromise by workers.

He gave us this advice in 2017 and insisted that the maximum duration we could agree to should have been 2 years.

When Government insisted on four years based on the Medium…

“I’m not telling you to make the world better I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To take chances. To make your own work (like the Kenyan drs have been trying to) and take…

Dr JB Kinuthia, who is waiting for posting, listened to his union bosses singing and felt they weren't sounding too good acapella, so he - not only being a doctor but also musically talented - decided to use his talent to spice up the song. Watch 👇

This is the real crisis. Interns are not prepared to serve queues of 500 people daily for 70k!

KC Dr. Ouma Oluga, OGW I work in a county referral hospital with only 4 Medical Officers

Hope you’re well guided now.

For sure, the law is very clear.

Those mistreating interns be aware.

If you are all mistreating your interns, just be aware that this doctors’ strike is making the whole country woke and the law has never been on your side.

No more!

CBA must be implemented.
