Deputy President Kithure Kindiki on Thursday struck a deal with doctors.
The deal was reached in a meeting at the DP's official residence.
"The government takes our health workers seriously and respects their profession," Kindiki said.
He added that the state was still open to further engagements with the concerned stakeholders to iron out sticking issues.
"We will endeavour to engage proactively and in good faith at all times," the Deputy President said.
He announced that doctors would get the monies reflected in their accounts soon.
"From Saturday, all our intern doctors will receive their payslips and funds will subsequently reflect in their accounts," Kindiki said.
According to the 2017 collective bargaining agreement, intern doctors would be entitled to a pay of Sh207,000.
In a tweet on X, Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) Secretary General Davji Atellah said as of today, interns' salaries have been updated in their payslips, aligning with the terms outlined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
"Furthermore, 50 per cent of the basic salary arrears are now being disbursed, with Kwale County leading as the first to reflect these payments," he said.
"Fees have also been paid for 44 doctors, ensuring their ability to pursue their professional development without financial strain."
According to Atellah, a budget of Sh65 million has also been set aside to support registrars, who are encouraged to submit their documents without delay to benefit from this allocation.
"We are closely monitoring the disbursement process, and we expect all doctors across the counties to receive their payments by Monday or Tuesday next week," he said.
"This progress is a testament to the dedication and collective strength of our union, and we remain steadfast in our pursuit of equity, respect, and fairness in the medical profession."
