    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, this is a Statement sought by Hon. Wakhungu on the threatened strike by the Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU). This is from the Cabinet Secretary for Health. It is, indeed, true that the KMPDU issued a notice on behalf of their members that they would not be available to offer services in Government facilities with effect from 4th August, 2013. The grievances that they needed to be addressed relate to the delay in processing July 2013 salaries for doctors and all health workers serving in the Ministry. I wish to explain that the delay in processing the salaries of July 2013 for health workers was occasioned by the reorganization of Government Ministries and alignment of payroll codes to reflect the changes. The delay was also as a result of the budgetary disbursement of voted funds to cater for salaries of health workers. I wish to confirm that the reorganization and alignment of the payroll system has been finalized and the National Treasury disbursed funds to the Ministry. The Ministry of Health has already processed the payroll for all health workers, including doctors and they should be able to access their salaries before 4th August, 2013."
