The county government of Kisumu has threatened to declare positions of striking doctors vacant if they fail to report back to work by close of business on Monday. She said promotion letters were written by December 19 and the workers asked to collect them resume work. But Atyang insisted the letters were prepared by the County Public Service Board in line with the doctor’s scheme of service. Speaking in her office on Monday, Atyang said the doctors had up to 5 pm on Monday to collect the letters, failing which the positions will be declared vacant. She attributed the slow implementation of the doctor’s promotions to a delay in release of funds from the National Treasury.
