By MAUREEN KAKAHMore by this AuthorDoctors' union officials are pegging their hopes on the Employment and Labour Relations Court regarding the jail sentence they are facing, after the Court of Appeal declined to suspend it. Justice Hellen Wasilwa is today expected to announce whether she will consider reviewing the jail sentence she imposed on eight Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union officials last month or send them to prison. The officials were found guilty of disobeying court orders stopping the strike when they urged union members to boycott work and participate in a nationwide strike that enters its 61th day today. The jail sentence has been suspended three times on the condition that the strike be called off and talks be held between the parties involved.
