The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists, and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has reported that their Secretary General, Dr. Davji Atellah, has been shot amidst protests concerning the delayed posting of medical interns.

The incident occurred during a peaceful procession led by Dr. Atellah, according to a statement released by KMPDU on Thursday afternoon.

The union vehemently condemns the actions of the police, asserting that Dr. Atellah sustained injuries while leading medical interns in a nonviolent demonstration.

The statement, posted on X, denounces the shooting as an egregious act. Dr. Atellah has been admitted to Nairobi Hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Prior to the incident, Dr. Atellah had notified the Nairobi Regional Police Commander of the planned peaceful protest in Nairobi. The protest aimed to address concerns regarding the delayed placement of medical interns and the payment of fees for postgraduate students.

The procession, originating from the Kenya Medical Association Centre in the Upper Hill area, was intended to culminate at the Ministry of Health offices before proceeding to the Treasury headquarters in the city center.

This action follows Dr. Atellah’s earlier warning of a potential nationwide strike if the employment of over 1,000 medical interns was not addressed. Additionally, Dr. Atellah criticized the Ministry of Health for failing to absorb medical professionals, consequently impeding access to medical services for Kenyans.
