KMPDU has sued the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, the ministries of Health and Labour, and the Attorney general for scrapping off their non-practice allowance. In Court documents seen by the Star, Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union wants the Labour court to stop implementation of the same. The scrapping was effective January 1, 2023, following an advisory by SRC to the Health CS Susan Nakhumicha and the Public Service Commission. They said negotiations for the next Collective Bargaining Agreement are coming and the salaries commission was using the directive to deny them the right to negotiate. KMPDU has been meeting various stakeholders including Health CS Nakhumicha, the council of governors representatives and other relevant departments among others.
