Tuesday, April 16, 2024 - A close ally of President William Ruto has said the Kenya Kwanza Alliance government cannot afford to pay doctors the Sh 206,000 they are demanding.
In a social media post on Tuesday, Senate Majority leader and Kericho
Senator, Aaron Cheruiyot said the
government has no capacity to pay intern doctors the KSh 206,000 that is being
demanded.
He said the government can only
afford to pay Sh 70,000
''The truth is that, currently, where the country sits, we cannot pay a student doctor KSh 200,000. Even in other African countries doing well than Kenya, interns are not paid that much.
"We have said all we can get is KSh 70,000,'' Cheruiyot stated.
Cheruiyot's claims come at a time
when Kenyans have been criticising the government over the mass looting of
public resources through inflated tenders and allowances.
