    "content": " I wanted to bring the issue to the fore because I do not think doctors are in the mood to picket. It is only that they have not been heard. There is also the issue that the Leader of the Majority Party has brought out so well. He stated that there are more than 2,200 intern doctors who have graduated and will be absorbed. From the records, there were 7,893 intern doctors in 2018. We now have over 9,600 intern doctors, of whom only 1,800 will be absorbed as full-fledged doctors. Many doctors are overqualified and work as interns. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that interns are being overworked in the county hospitals. It is only right that they be fairly remunerated. Paying a doctor Ksh70,000 is not fair, yet they are charged with the healthcare of our people. The last time they picketed, they were confronted by the police and tear-gassed. They have made it clear that any police officer who hurls tear gas at them should not expect to be treated by the same doctors when he/she falls sick."
