The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) is now demanding that President William Ruto's administration implement the salary increase agreement for doctors nationwide, following the recent payment of salary arrears. KMPDU also calls for the immediate disbursement of the 2024–2025 salary arrears as per last year's return-to-work agreement.

• KMPDU National Chairperson Abidan Mwachi urged the government to review doctors' payslips to reflect new basic salary rates and immediate payment of 2024–2025 arrears.
• The government recently settled doctors' salary arrears dating back to 2017, in line with a previous Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) signed eight years ago.
• President Ruto had pledged to settle arrears amounting to Ksh3.5 billion over two years, with the first batch paid immediately and further settlements by July 1, 2024.
