KMPDU has secured a major victory for doctors serving in Nandi County following a high-level consultative engagement with the County Government held yesterday evening. The meeting was led by Stephen Sang, alongside the Deputy Governor, County Secretary, Chief Officers for Health and Finance, and members of the County Public Service Board.
The Union was robustly represented by both national and branch leadership, underscoring the urgency and seriousness of the issues at hand. The engagement was constructive, focused, and results-oriented, culminating in firm commitments that advance doctors’ welfare and restore dignity in the workplace.
Key Outcomes of the Engagement
1. Immediate Promotion of Doctors
In a clear and unequivocal commitment, the County Government agreed to immediately promote all doctors presented on the Union’s list. These promotions will be effected and reflected in the March pay slips, as follows:
Job Group R to S: 4 doctors
Job Group N/P to Q: 8 doctors
Job Group M to N: 3 doctors
2. Doctors on Contract
The County committed to issuing appointment letters to all 14 doctors currently on contract. Further, it undertook to progressively transition all affected doctors to Permanent and Pensionable (PnP) terms until full absorption is achieved, addressing long-standing job insecurity.
3. Postgraduate Training
Recognizing the importance of career progression and specialist capacity, the County has already released two doctors for postgraduate training in January 2026, with additional releases planned in the next financial year.
This outcome marks a significant step forward in KMPDU’s relentless pursuit of fairness, dignity, and justice for doctors. It reaffirms the power of principled engagement backed by unity and resolve.
In our unwavering commitment to equity, we shall leave no doctor behind, one county at a time.
Unity remains our greatest strength.
Long live the Union.
