Tanzanian doctors oppose Kenya's plans to hire them

DAR ES SALAAM, March 10 (Xinhua) -- Tanzanian doctors on Friday opposed plans by the Kenyan government to hire them to fill the gap created by striking medics in Kenya.

Elisha Osati, the Chairman-elect of the Medical Association of Tanzania (MAT), said they were opposed to the move, emphasizing that they were only ready for the move after the strike ended and not now.

Tanzania's Minister for Health, Community Development, Gender, Children and the Elderly Ummy Mwalimu confirmed that the Kenyan government has indeed made the request.

As the Kenyan doctors' strike enters its 95th day on Friday, Osati said: "MAT is not supporting Kenyan government's plans of employing Tanzania doctors."

According to Kenyan media, the country's Council of Governors Chair Peter Munya announced on Thursday that the Kenyan government has embarked on plans to hire medics from Tanzania, Ethiopia and Cuba in the next three weeks to replace striking doctors.

This development comes hardly a week after Tanzanian doctors through MAT, asked the government to make endeavors to recruit over 1,500 newly licensed doctors who are still unemployed.

At a press conference last week, MAT chairman Obadia Nyongole said for over the past two years, the Tanzanian government has not recruited newly licensed young doctors.

On Wednesday the Kenyan government said it had lost patience with the slow pace of talks to end doctors' strike and ordered that the medics resume duty immediately.

President Uhuru Kenyatta directed county service boards and the Health ministry in Kenya to take disciplinary measures against all doctors who would fail to heed the order to resume duty.

Despite government withdrawing a deal negotiated during the meditation process, the doctors now say that they cannot be coerced and bulldozed into returning to work without inking the negotiated deal, local media in Kenya reports.

Kenya's Health Cabinet Secretary, Cleopa Mailu, has expressed disappointment in the doctors' union for rejecting the offer that had been proposed by the government. Enditem

Ni vizuri madaktari wa nchi zote kuonyesha ushirikiano katika hili,maana leo kwao kesho kwetu.

Thank God Tanzanians said no, Kenyan government has to deal with its problems head on, Kenya has the best doctors no doubt let's keep it that way

Ndio baadae Watanzania watakuja kusema ajira za shida wakati Neema hiyo imemwagwa. Huu ulikuwa wakati wa madaktari wetu kushukuru Mungu na saa wangekuwa wako Kenya

Dont expect Tanzanian doctors to say YES, on such a phenomenon........ They are full of fear..

Mkuu tumia akili ndogo tu Ku reason hapa. Kama Tanzanian's drs watakubali maana ake kuba uwezekano mkubwa kuuwawa ndo maana MAT imesema mpaka mgogoro wao uishe. Mmesoma shule gani nyinyi?

Ni jambo la busara kwa madaktari wa Tanzania kuungana kiundugu na hawa wa Kenya, lakini huu mgomo umepitiliza, wengi tuliunga mkono na tukakubali kuumia ili madaktari washughulikiwe kimaslahi, lakini wasemavyo watalaam 'too much of something is dangerous', huu mgomo umekua kero sasa...twafa.

Nafikiri kama sijaelewa vizuri na nipo tayari kusahihishwa, ni kwamba madaktari wanataka kima cha chini cha daktari kiwe Ksh300,000 (Tshs 6,600,000) Lakini serikali imesema kwa sasa uwezo wake ni kwamba daktari wa chini alipwe Ksh.196,989 (Tshs 4,333,758)

Sasa hapo fahari wawili, tutaumia sisi hadi tukome maana viongozi hawana matatizo wao wana hela, wanakimbia kwenda Afrika Kusini na Ulaya kila wakipata mafua.

You know, its one thing for the Tz union to say they won't come, but remember they are going to be employed individually.... Not as a union.

Those who are ambitious watakuja tu...after all the cheque is fatter than that which they are currently getting.

there are some who will come...there are some who will not...

Hehehe! Ina maana makabila ya Tanzania yaliyo na ndugu Kenya yameingia kwenye ukabila na ndugu zao....

Anyway hili la madaktari halina ukabila wala nini, maana madaktari waliogoma wapo hata Ukikuyuni na pembe zote za nchi.

Wanasiasa watataka kupindisha na kuleta mambo yao ya siasa za kikabila lakini hilo halipo, hao madaktari wanafuata maslahi yao ya kikazi na wana hizo haki, tatizo ni pale huu mvutano umepitiliza hadi raia tunaumia na kuanza kuwachukia hao madaktari.

I will support kenya not getting a single doctor from outside. both parties are equally to blame. dont make look like the govt is the angel here. Too much of everything kwa pande zote!!! The current govt is among the most dishonest kupita zote. you tell people eti kama president kazi yako ni kutia sahihi .sheria kutoka bungeni, kweli lakini why do presidents have the power of veto. to guard the peoples interest bunge bunge wakidhulumu wananchi! dont play helpless president when kenyans are dying of hunger na president na wezi wenzake bungeni wanapata posho mara 15 zaidi ya economy ya kenya inaweza kuwalipa kulingana na ripoti ya benki kuu!!! nonsense from our govt!!

Mtazamo na msimamo muhimu sana huo...

Before you work as a medical doctor in Kenya, you must be registered with the medical board of Kenya.
Hii story ya imported doctors can't work. So Tanzania better not get excited. Hapa lazima labda kuwe na special exemption.

Wacha kupasuka pasuka ovyo, hamna sehemu nimetetea serikali, nimesema too much of something is dangerous, mgomo huu umepitiliza na tumeumia kiasi kwamba wengi wetu hatuna haja tena ya kujua nani wa kulaumu wala nini. Iwe rais au madaktari, juzi hata magavana wa upinzani wote waliungana na wa serikali katika kuwaponda na kuwafuta madaktari, mbona huyo Kalonzo wako au hata Raila hakukataza magavana wake, unafiki wa ovyo ndio zenu.

Cha msingi tumechoka kama raia maana viongozi wakipata mafua tu, wanakwenda Ulaya hawana muda na utaalam wa nyumbani, hata huyo Raila sasa hivi binti yake yupo Afrika Kusini anapata matibabu na hana shida yoyote hata mkigoma hadi Yesu arudi.

Kwa hivyo mara nyingi huwa nakuambia tumia ubongo na sio kuandika kwa mihemko ukitumia herufi kubwa kusudi umeambiwa na viongozi nini cha kusema.

Wenzako wakinyolewa...... juzi uzi tu wakwetu waligomea maslahi mpaka doctor ulimboka aka ng'olewa meno na kucha bila ganzi baada ya hapo watu wakatishika akapewa chake sijui kafichwa wapi leo hii wafurahie wenzao wanavo dai maslahi yao ukiistaajabu ya East Africa utayaona.....
