A press briefing by striking doctors at Msambweni County Referral Hospital in Kwale County turned chaotic after a group of unidentified goons disrupted the assembly while police watched helplessly.
The doctors, who had assembled to highlight grievances over delayed salaries and poor working conditions, were forced to flee as the goons, armed with clubs and riding on motorcycles, stormed the venue.
The doctors, drawn from the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), condemned the incident, calling it an unprecedented act of intimidation. "We were just standing outside the hospital when they came at us.
We had done nothing provocative.
