Once more I appeal to the doctors, clinical officers, and laboratory technicians to give dialogue a chance,\u201d she said in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bore met KMPDU representatives on Monday to discuss the framework of court-ordered conciliatory talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Health proposed retaining interns on a stipend of 70,000, which would cost the government approximately Sh2.4 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afya House noted that the Sh206,000 demanded by the union would require an allocation of Sh4.9 billion, a figure it said was unaffordable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justice Ngaah, who issued the directions at the Milomani Law Courts in Nairobi in response to an urgent application by the Institute for Social Accountability (TISA) and eight other lobbies, directed the application to file a substantive motion within seven days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12320,"featured_media":745873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4625,26],"tags":[9515,1981,14200,11904],"coauthors":[407],"class_list":["post-745868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-top-stories","tag-doctors-strike-2","tag-featured","tag-japhet-koome","tag-justice-jairus-ngaah"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Court suspends Koome&#039;s move to outlaw medics&#039;
