KMPDU

Healthcare does not just belong to the doctor; it directly affects every Kenyan. Actually, a doctor's working condition is a direct reflection of a patient’s outcome 🏥

Ahsanteni sana!

BASIC SALARY #ADJUSTMENTS — UPDATE 🟥 Following a two-day engagement, the special code for basic salary adjustments has been resolved. The DPSN, SRC, CoG, and Treasury verified all pending adjustments. While 95% of doctors are owed, 5% were flagged for “overpayments”—a position we firmly reject, as it contradicts the ELRC 2020 judgement. Outstanding adjustments have been revised from KES 450M to KES 330M after the SRC February 2026 circular. DIRECTIVES SRC (10th March 2026) directs all counties to: - Implement adjustments immediately - Pay all arrears - Use the DPSN special code POSITION We will enforce compliance and verify all figures. Annual increments are not part of CBA implementation. Doctors are owed—plus interest for delays.

🟥 IMPORTANT UPDATE

KMPDU threatens strike over ‘mysterious’ arrests of Nairobi Hospital officials citizen.digital/news/kmpdu-thr…

Kenya Medical Association protests alleged persecution of medics amid detention of Dr Job Obwaka in the Nairobi Hospital row, demands his immediate release.

Kenya Medical Association protests alleged persecution of medics amid detention of Dr Job Obwaka in the Nairobi Hospital row, demands his immediate release.

KOGS calls for the immediate release of Dr. Obwaka. Holding a decorated medical practitioner without clear charges or bail is a violation of due process and an affront to the medical fraternity. We stand with Dr. Obwaka and demand his immediate release from Muthaiga Police Station. #FreeDrObwaka

Yesterday it was Dr Khandawala. Today it is Dr Obwaka. Tomorrow it could be you. This morning we stood with Dr Obwaka, an 80-year-old gynaecologist, who was abducted from his clinic by state agents and taken to Muthaiga Police Station on trumped-up charges, despite a valid court order stopping his arrest. As KMPDU, we will not stand by and watch our members being persecuted. We will continue to push back against this mischief for the good of our society.
