The Employment and Labour Relations Court has directed the government and striking doctors to conclude the return-to-work formula by Wednesday. The Judge advised that as the parties are on a threshold for concluding the return-to-work formula, they are encouraged to proceed accordingly, in good faith. KMPDU officials then stated that they would sign a different document that captures their demands and present the same in court as the return-to-work formula. Then, KMPDU insisted that the document from the negotiations was incomplete and could not be a return-to-work formula. Before Monday's court orders, a meeting had been planned for Tuesday, between the CoG, KMPDU, KUCO and KNUMLO to agree on the return-to-work formula.
