By LILLIAN MUTAVIMore by this AuthorThe Nairobi City County has given striking doctors 72 hours to explain why they should not be fired over persistent strike. Dr Ayisi said sacking the health workers was a process and that is why they have been issued with show-cause letters. Some 56 doctors, he said, had also been promoted and the county service board was processing the promotion of doctors in job groups P and Q. The county is also hiring part-time doctors and engaging trainees, who will be paid at government rates, to replace the striking medics. Manoah said service delivery has been overstretched at Kenyatta National Hospital because of the crisis plaguing county health facilities.
