The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige has stated that ‘weapons in the labour laws’ will be invoked on resident doctors if they refuse to back down on the ongoing strike after government meets some of their demands.<\/p>\n

Recall that the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) on Thursday embarked on an indefinite strike over salary arrears and owed allowances.<\/p>\n

The labour minister, Ngige while speaking on Friday when he featured on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television said\u00a0employers of the resident doctors<\/a> can invoke the no-work-no-pay rule.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy Tuesday, I will invite them back (referring to NARD). If they become recalcitrant, there are things I can do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are weapons in the labour laws I will invoke. There is \u2018no work, no pay\u2019. Their employers have a role also to keep their businesses afloat, to keep patients alive. They can employ local doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that he is optimistic that the matter will be resolved within a few days, as meetings have been arranged to clear the backlog of owed salaries and allowances.<\/p>\n

Ngige, however, maintained that government will not hesitate to invoke relevant sections of the law on labour against the resident doctors if they refuse to resume work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t get there. If we are going to get there, we\u2019ll use that stick,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
