Inspector General Japhet Koome Has Been Sued.
Inspector General Japhet Koome Has Been Sued: Davji Atellah, the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists Dentists Union (KMPDU) Secretary General has announced that the union has sued the Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome.
Speaking to the press on Monday, April 15, the Secretary-General revealed that this was after the IG’s remarks and threats issued on Sunday.
Atellah while issuing the press, highlighted that no amount of threats, victimization or intimidation would make the doctors call off the strike.
He stated,”KMPDU and other societies, we have already proceeded to court against the defamatory statement that was released yesterday. As a union we will serve the IG,”
Davji argued that Koome cannot go against the constitution and issue threats rather than offer an amicable solution
Notably, Atellah faulted the government saying it was counterproductive to bring in foreign doctors who end up failing the set test, citing Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral & Research Hospital (KUTRRH) which had recruited foreign doctors to fill in the gap
He stated,” The hospital decided to import doctors and consultants, today in an interview by KMPDC all except one failed the test. This means that the services the doctors are offering in different hospitals, they have mastered the craft over time they can’t be replaced by picking anyone from the streets,”
