The Labour court has suspended the one month jail sentence handed to doctors to allow them to negotiate and call off their 53-day strike. Justice Hellen Wasilwa suspended the sentence by five days in a ruling on Thursday. Striking doctors wait outside Milimani law courts during a hearing on their one-month jail sentence over a prolonged strike and their 2013 CBA, January 26, 2017. But on Wednesday, they filed a court application for their impending jail sentence to be suspended for an additional two weeks. Striking doctors gathered at Railways Club in Nairobi following Justice Hellen Wasilwa's suspension of their one-month jail sentence, January 26, 2017.
