Kenyan court tells doctors to end strike in days or face jail

NAIROBI, Jan 26 (Reuters) A Kenyan court today ordered doctors to end a strike in the next five days or face jail after a stoppage of more than six weeks that has plunged state hospitals into crisis at the start of an election year.
Justice Hellen Wasilwa had initially handed union leaders a suspended one-month sentence on January 12 after they defied a December ruling declaring the strike illegal. She had also given them a two-week period for negotiations to avoid jail.
Today, she extended the period for the doctors to call off the strike by five days. "The role of this court is to bring a solution, and an amicable solution," she said when announcing the extension.
