Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) was dealt a blow in its battle with the doctors’ union after the Labour Court temporarily stopped the hiring of 22 doctors on three-year contracts.
Justice Onesmus Makau of the Employment and Labour Relations Court instead directed KNH to reach an agreement with the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) on how six medics can be included in the ongoing recruitment.
