The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting workers' rights and welfare as it partners with the Ministry of Labour and Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Kenya to develop an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Procedures Manual.
The initiative seeks to strengthen workplace relations, promote fair labour practices and establish more effective mechanisms for resolving disputes between employers and employees.
The discussions bring together officials from the Ministry of Labour, KMPDU and representatives of the German-based political foundation to develop a framework that prioritises constructive dialogue and fair treatment of workers.

Atellah emphasised the importance of constructive dialogue, mutual respect and fair dispute-resolution processes in fostering harmonious workplaces and advancing social justice.
He noted that improving working conditions, strengthening fair labour practices and expanding social protection were essential not only to the labour movement but also to Kenya's broader economic and social development.
