Against the continuation of on-going 100 days strike action by Kenyan doctors which is causing paralysis of medical activities, #DoctorsDeal is trending in the country which signifies an end to the action.

According to Ceoafrica, the ministry of health has tweeted that a deal is imminent, but the medical workers' representatives have not spoken yet and the government statement could be seen as a way to force their hand.

Several attempts to end the strike have failed with both sides accusing each other of not being honest.

Last week the government announced that it was withdrawing a pay offer with President Uhuru Kenyatta accusing officials the doctors' union of blackmailing the authorities.

It had also started sacking doctors who had not returned to work saying that it would replace them with foreign doctors.

The latest attempt to bring the two sides together is being mediated at the Court of Appeal which gave both sides 24 hours to agree on a deal; the doctors have been pushing for a 2013 deal to improve their pay and working conditions.

The government has said that it does not have funds to honour the agreement and it has also questioned the legitimacy of the deal.
